MYOB adds Apple Pay to online invoices, making it quicker and easier than ever for clients to pay you anywhere, anytime.
Invoicing. It’s one of the first activities a new business must come to terms with as they begin booking clients and seeking payment for their products and services.
Traditionally, raising, sending, chasing payment and reconciling invoices adds up to a significant administrative burden – one which MYOB’s Online Invoice Payments addresses through automation and a secure payment gateway.
And now, with the addition of Apple Pay, Online Invoice Payments is more powerful than ever.
Your customers are already using their smartphones to complete invoice payments. In fact, according to MYOB usage data, almost half (43 percent) of users who click ‘Pay Now’ on an online invoice do so from their mobile.*
Industry data also shows nearly half of all Aussie consumers have used Apple Pay to pay for goods and services in the past 12 months, making it the clear preference for payments.
By adding Apple Pay to the list of payment options in MYOB’s Online Invoice Payments, there’s even less reason for your customers to hold off on making a payment.
And with these payments optimised for mobile devices and single-click payment available from your customer’s digital wallet, the process becomes practically frictionless for the payer.
That means Online Invoice Payments not only makes it faster and easier for you to raise, send and track invoices, your clients and customers can now pay you at the tap of a button.

For MYOB users who have already set up Online Invoice Payments, there’s no additional work required to enable this feature.
Apple Pay is automatically added to your online invoices for those customers using a compatible iOS device.
Plus, using this option costs no more than if your customers used a credit card, debit card or BPAY– all payment options attract the same, competitive rate of 1.8 percent plus 25 cents per transaction.
If you have an existing subscription for MYOB Business or MYOB Essentials (New), but aren’t already using Online Invoice Payments, registering is easy (please note: experience may vary between products).
