15545: Collecting Payments via Direct Deposit from Clients (DAS)


Payables

Drake Accounting®: Can I set up my firm to collect payments from a client using direct deposit (Kotapay)? 

 

Yes, you can set up your firm as a vendor for each client and then enable direct deposit payments through Kotapay (formerly InterceptEFT). This will allow your clients to pay you for your services by direct deposit. 

Before configuring Drake Accounting® for direct deposit, you must first set up an account with Kotapay. Contact Kotapay at (800) 378-3328 or visit their website at www.KotaPay.com for more information or pricing. Once this is completed, go to Firm > Direct Deposit Setup and input your Kotapay information. For more information on this process, see Related Links below.
