For all its capabilities and necessary accounting tasks that it can complete, QuickBooks’ Online accounting features don’t put cash in your pocket the way that Biller Genie can. We propose a marriage between what QuickBooks Online accounting software offers and what Biller Genie automated accounts receivable can give you. Together they’ll take your business to new heights. You really can’t have one without the other if you want to be certain as possible that you’ll get paid.
Biller Genie’s QuickBooks Online Integration
Just signed up for QuickBooks online, but not sure where to start? Check out the Biller Genie guide to learn how to use QuickBooks Online. Biller Genie integrates directly with QuickBooks Online, so there is no new software to learn and you can keep your existing payments processor. The Genie does all of the heavy lifting for you thanks to Quickbooks’ Online integration. Our customers simply hit save and we take over from there – sending out invoices via email or paper mail, following up with reminders on your custom schedule, accepting payments online via credit card, ACH, and Apple Pay, and reconciling payments back into your accounting software. Think of Biller Genie as a supercharger or rocket booster for QuickBooks Online.
QuickBooks Online App Integrations
Wouldn’t it be great if you could automatically sync your business and customer data with QuickBooks, or even connect QuickBooks to an external SaaS provider? Thanks to QuickBooks Online app integrations, now you can! Many QuickBooks Online users are unaware of the tools available to them via QuickBooks apps.
Have you ever found yourself frustrated with the feature limitations of QuickBooks Online auto invoice reminders or wish you could simplify and automate an accounting-related process like sending overdue invoice reminders? Biller Genie is the app integration that does all of that.
Biller Genie is your full-time, automated accounts receivable assistant. It takes care of repetitive accounts receivable tasks, improves your customers’ payment experiences, and gets you paid faster. Unlike other QuickBooks Online apps, Biller Genie provides multiple features that you would need multiple apps to accomplish. It can operate as an all-in-one solution for many QuickBooks Online users.
Where QuickBooks Falls Short
For all its strengths, QuickBooks has some limitations. If you’re like most users, you’ve hit a wall when it comes to functionality. Maybe you want to be able to send automated invoice reminders to your customers via email. Or, you might be unhappy with the not-so-great, generic, QuickBooks-branded invoice payment option included with the service. Quickbooks online provides automated reminders, but they fall short. Biller Genie puts your brand on your invoices, which has an impact on the customer that is measurable and immeasurable in terms of brand trust, brand recognition, and more. It also sends out more precise and frequent reminders that fit with each unique customer.
At the end of the day, businesses need accounting software that offers a wide range of functionality — everything from payment processing, inventory management, and data syncing to billing & invoicing, project management, and accounts receivable. While QuickBooks Online offers users a lot of features at a reasonable price, not everything QuickBooks online does matches user needs. Collecting payments from customers in a timely manner is crucial for small businesses to maintain positive cash flow. That’s where the magic of Biller Genie comes in.

Maintaining healthy cash flow helps you pay your employees, pay for operating expenses, and to finance innovation. Without money coming in consistently, opportunities for business growth are limited.
Newsflash, QuickBooks >> Payment Reminders Are Pretty Darn Important
We’re not sure why QuickBooks Online doesn’t offer better options when it comes to payment reminders, but we have heard stories from people who have complained about the lack of usability when it comes to payment reminders in QuickBooks. People share a lot on social media. This person was so frustrated by QuickBooks Payment Reminders, that they screenshotted it and sent it to a Facebook group. Check out the image below. Do you see it? When you turn on Automatic Invoice Reminders in QuickBooks Online, you find out that you can only use them with new invoices, Turning off automatic reminders removes them FROM ALL invoices. What? And that’s not all. You only have the option to send three payment reminders, as you can see below. You have reminder one. Okay. Then another reminder on the due date. Alright. Then, and this is key, the third and final payment reminder comes three days after the due date. That’s it; there you have it in a nutshell.
At Biller Genie, we have more than 30 years of combined experience in the financial service industry and we’re always on our game. We’ll hang our hat on that.. Most people intend to pay their bills, and we prove that time and time again. To improve cash flow, Biller Genie is your best option. QuickBooks Online payment reminders don’t cut it. After all, QuickBooks wasn’t built for invoicing and payment reminders..
Businesses using QuickBooks Online may still be relying on slow, manual and time-consuming processes for invoicing and calling their customers to ask about late payments. Relying on manual processes, such as sending out paper invoices, tracking payments received in spreadsheets, and relying on memory or your Outlook calendar to send reminders when your invoices go unpaid just doesn’t work anymore. Research shows that 69% of small businesses still use spreadsheets to track invoices and spending. It’s time you get automated accounts receivable to boost your cash flow.
Biller Genie’s Late Fees Improve Customer Relationships and You Won’t Get Them with QuickBooks Online Alone

We Don’t Like to Play Favorites, But When It Comes to Our Features, Well …
Our top three favorite features that Biller Genie offer include:
- The Invoice Messenger. This is the most powerful feature of The Genie. This is how we remind your customers of new invoices, upcoming payments, late payment reminders, and more. The reminder feature can be customized to handle a communication schedule that starts with gentle prompts and progresses to more serious warnings as invoices age beyond the due date
- Customer Portal. Our subscribers love the customer portal. Your customers can log into your customized customer portal, branded with your logo and colors, giving your clients a familiar, easy-to-use and secure place to monitor their accounts, 24/7. They can make payments, view payment history, setup autopay, and more.
- Processing Fees. This is a great feature where you can pass on fees for the costs associated with processing invoices. The fees are automatically added onto the existing invoice as a line item, not as a separate invoice, allowing easy reconciliation. No more comparing spreadsheets and your bank account, The Genie handles it for you.
A Commitment to Innovation & Continuous Improvement That Comes From Being an Agile Startup

It’s in our nature that as new needs arise, we’ll be there ahead of them. We’re really proactive and predict what’s happening next in the accounting space.
