Who LawPay Is For

LawPay is for attorneys that want fully-compliant trust accounting without the need for extra steps with payment processing and who don’t mind paying a bit extra for that luxury. It is most effective when paired with a law practice software management program, so potential users should make sure that LawPay supports their program and vice versa.

About Credit Card Processing Fees
Comparing credit card processors on price is difficult because there are so many fees involved, from monthly fees to per-transaction fees, with variations for eCheck/ACH versus swiped cards versus keyed-in transactions and extra fees for "signature cards" like American Express. As a rule of thumb, credit card processing fees are 2–3.5% of the transaction. eCheck/ACH fees are usually lower.
