Welcome to the new flexible and personalized payment options for your invoices. We're excited to guide you through the process of setting up our new payment methods, including Venmo, Stripe, PayPal, and more to start accepting payments for all of the hard work that you do. These options offer you enhanced flexibility and convenience for accepting and managing payment.

Available invoice payment methods on Wethos starting April 16th

Every platform is different, but we are here to make things easier for you and help you get your payment methods in your account all set up and how you can personalize each one of your invoices! If you have a favorite platform in mind you can navigate directly to it through the links below.

Important Note: On May 14th, 2024 Wethos will no longer be offering the Wethos Payments Account services. If you have a Wethos Payments Account and choose to activate these payment options before that date, you will only be able to accept payments through these new payment options and not through your Wethos Account. However, you will still be able to see your Wethos Payments Account information and make transactions, such as withdrawals, and download statements.

We recommend that you download all necessary statements and withdraw your funds before May 14th, 2024.


Payment Methods:

Getting started is simple, head over to your account settings and select the options that you want to add the links to your account. You’ll be asked to provide your payment link (https://paypal.me/leodvi) or your account handle (@leodvi) to enable these payment methods. Below you will find instructions for each of the available payment methods. You can enable them all or just the ones you want to receive payments through. You can see an example of what your client will see at the bottom of this article.
