StoriiCare Billing V1 - Beta

Introducing Our New Billing Feature!

We're thrilled to announce the release of our latest feature that's set to revolutionize the way you bill your clients and manage your finances within StoriiCare. We've listened to your feedback and have worked diligently to bring you the first component of a comprehensive billing solution tailored to your needs.

With clients across multiple countries, currencies, tax rates and billing cycles, we've been working to ensure our billing component can be customized to suit your specific requirements. We also wanted to ensure our solution was fully accessible on all devices - we're happy to share that Billing can be used across any device, desktop or mobile, including our iOS and Android Apps.

Why This Matters:

  • Efficiency: Streamline your billing processes, reduce manual tasks, and save valuable time by using one platform for all your needs.
  • Accuracy: Ensure that every invoice and payment is accurately recorded and matched.
  • Flexibility: Cater to diverse client needs with the ability to manage and account for multiple payer types.

Our first billing release has a new dedicated section in the navigation tab in which Billing functionality and data will be stored within StoriiCare.

Within the Billing feature there are currently 7 tabs:
