What is Buildertrend Payments?

Buildertrend Payments is a convenient option your builder may offer to simplify how you pay invoices. With this feature, you can securely pay directly from the emailed invoice or through your client portal.

No checks, no hassle.


Save Your Preferred Payment Methods

If you have access to the Client Portal, you can securely add your preferred payment methods, such as a credit card or bank account ahead of time. This allows you to pay invoices more quickly by avoiding the need to enter your payment information each time.

Begin by navigating to Settings from the User Icon menu.

Scroll to the Payments section and choose Add credit card or Add bank account from the Add payment method dropdown menu.

Enter your credit card and/or bank account details. When finished, click Add.

💡Pro Tip


When adding a credit card or bank account, you can select Set as preferred payment method. This option will automatically apply that payment method when making future payments.

If you have multiple payment methods saved, such as two credit cards and a bank account, your preferred method will appear first in the list.
