Take payments from your clients

Getting paid - it's the hardest thing to do in business. The sooner and the easier you can get that money in your account, the better.

Using our integrations with Stripe, PayPal, and GoCardless, you can take a payment from your client the moment they sign your proposal. Then if needed, you can also start a subscription.

Your questions, answered

Common questions about plans, designs and security

Can I edit your templates?

Yes, you can! Add, delete, or change sections as you see fit. Make a mistake? Just import the template from the Marketplace again and you’re good to go.

You don’t have a template for my industry, what can I do?

Not to worry - all of our templates can be quickly adapted to suit your needs. Many users also prefer to import their own templates, so whether you want something all your own or something fast & easy, there’s a template for you.

Will my clients see your logo?

That’s up to you! Our Premium and Enterprise plans allow you to remove our branding and logo from your documents, giving a clean, white-label feel. Or, you can keep our logo and branding active and earn a commission when recipients sign up for Better Proposals.

Are my documents secure?

Yes, absolutely. Better Proposals uses 256bit SSL security to protect your account.

Your documents are always private, and every recipient is given their own unique encrypted link that can’t be intercepted or accessed by anyone else.

Can I change my plan after purchase?

Yes! Test out any of the plans above, and if it’s not working, you can upgrade or downgrade whenever you want, as often as you want.

I’m not a designer. How do I make my document look presentable?

Better Proposals handles font spacing, colour schemes, and design details by default. We’ll take care of the minor details so you can focus on landing the sale. Feeling stuck? Contact Support and we’ll help you along.

What about custom plans?

Enterprise users can send unlimited documents and every plan allows you to add as many users as you need, so you have ultimate flexibility.

Can you answer another question not listed here?

Yes! We can answer questions in as little as 2 minutes, and we do that 24 hours a day.
Start a chat in the bottom right for a quick answer or email us and we’ll get back to you shortly.
