The Online
Payment Tool
Designed just for coaches and consultants.
100% Free, No Credit Card Required
Paperbell is the “take payments online” software for coaches that runs your entire business: client management, scheduling, online contract signing & more.
Getting paid is the best, but dealing with getting paid is the worst! We’re referring to those super awkward client conversations about overdue payments. Or digging through a bunch of old emails trying to figure out who has already paid you, and who you completely forgot to send an invoice to.
We saw that the system is broken, so we created a much better billing software for coaches. Here’s how it works . . .
Just ONE Source For Accepting Client Payments!
At first it didn’t seem like a big deal to let clients pay you through different channels: a little Venmo here, a PayPal over there, a check in the mail, a wire transfer, a credit card payment.
But what you’re left with is a big fat mess: not only is your bookkeeping a nightmare, but all the different channels make it nearly impossible to figure out who has actually paid.
When you switch to Paperbell, you have ONE (and only one!) channel for all client payments to come through. Aaah, doesn’t that feel better?
Create Single Session, Multi-Session, or Subscription Sessions-per-Month Offerings
One big reason we created Paperbell was to solve the problem of your scheduling and payment processes being disconnected from each other. Paperbell makes it all one seamless process where your clients first pay, then schedule. (Learn more about how scheduling works in Paperbell here.)
Coaches often charge a monthly fee for a certain amount of sessions (e.g. two monthly sessions for $500/month), or sell sessions in packages (e.g. 6 sessions for $1,000). You can do all of these things in Paperbell!
You can also charge a flat fee for one session, or even create free discovery sessions.
Whatever kind of package you can dream up, you can create in Paperbell! Just set the fee, number of sessions, and session lengths (20 min, 2 hours, etc). You can even offer group coaching or include digital downloads.
You can choose for your packages to be shown publicly on your landing page, or you can create private packages that you send only to certain clients.
Your Client Quickly Pays You Online
We know that you have ongoing relationships with your clients, which is why clients create a login to their own unique client portal with you. This allows them to purchase more sessions, manage their information, and book future sessions within packages.
Their booking is only finalised once they’ve paid. Your client onboarding includes scheduling and payment in one smooth workflow.
That means you’re never left chasing down payment for sessions that have already happened.
Know Who’s Paid at a Glance
Let’s be real, talking money with your clients is not exactly your favourite part of the job. That’s why we’ve taken “you” out of it. All you do is send a link to your offerings, and your client takes care of payment in full before they can move to the next step.
This allows you to log into Paperbell and get a clean, clear list of your clients, their total lifetime spending, as well as exactly which packages they bought, and when.

More Client Payment Issues . . . Solved!
What about free sessions?
Many coaches like to have a free session (often called a discovery session or discovery call) before they start work with a client. You can absolutely manage these with Paperbell – your customer won’t have to enter any payment information.
Can I offer a pay-in-full discount?
Yes, Paperbell allows you to let your client choose a pay-in-full or payment plan option for the same package, and it’s super simple to set up.
What if I want to give a special discount?
We’ve thought of that too! You can give any discount you like using a custom-created coupon code.
Can I offer payment plans or subscriptions?
Yes and yes!
Which credit cards will I be able to accept?
You’ll be using either Stripe or PayPal as your payment processor, and both platforms accept all major credit cards. (Hooray!) If you don’t yet have a payment processor, we’ll help you get one set up.
I live outside the US, can I set my price in my local currency?
With Paperbell you can set your prices in American USD, British GBP, Canadian CAD, European EUR, Australian AUD, New Zealand NZD, or many more international currencies. Here’s the full list.
Can I offer pay-what-you-want or sliding scale?
Yes! Paperbell allows you to set multiple pricing options for the same package, allowing you to offer a range of prices for your clients to choose from.
Online Payment System FAQs

Is Paperbell my payment processor?
We integrate with either Stripe or Paypal as your payment processor. If you don’t already have an account, it’s easy to set up a Stripe account (our recommended option) right inside Paperbell.
Can I create invoices?
Paperbell eliminates the need for a traditional invoice. (By traditional invoice we mean you create a PDF, email it to your client, then wait an unknown amount of time while checking constantly to see if you’ve been paid yet.) Instead, your client completes their payment, scheduling and contract signing with one easy link.
