Customer Contacts

Bill Again allows you to register Customer Contacts who will be the preferred communication channel for that Customer and, if you choose so, be enabled to log into your Bill Again account’s Customer portal. From this portal Contacts will be able to view their company’s invoices and make payment to you on these invoices. Contacts are therefore any person associated with your Customer’s company and who are involved with its invoice receiving and payment processes.
