Features & Functionality

Biller Genie is free but comes packed with useful features to speed up and automate your workflow. It’s available as a standalone web app that’s compatible with most, if not all, browsers. Right out the gate, you’re able to make customized invoices and send them to your clients so they can view it online. It’s simple to track every view and other actions associated with invoices you’ve sent out. Add customers, access simple reports, understand how much you’ve got coming in, and more.

Recurring billing

When you’ve set up a payment processor, Biller Genie gets even more powerful. You can create custom recurring billing rules for each of your clients. When they accept the terms, they’ll automatically be billed at the beginning or end of the period.

Branded customer portal

Maintain a professional image by sending your customers to a branded portal when they want to pay. They can view their past payments, current invoice, add multiple payment methods, and update contact information or settings.

Automated reminder emails

Following up clients for payments is time consuming. It only gets harder the more your business grows. Automated invoice reminder emails can be set to go out at specific intervals after the initial invoice has been delivered to clients.

Late fees management

Late fees, no matter how you may feel about them, are an effective motivator for clients who’ve not paid. After stipulating the late fee percentage in Biller Genie, it’ll include that information in the invoice and start to calculate it after the invoice is overdue.
