How it Works

An example of using NextChapter Payments for a one-time payment.

One Time Application

Go to your NextChapter account settings and fill out a one-time application to set up online payments for your law firm.

Create an Invoice

When you’re ready to create an invoice for attorney or bankruptcy fees, generate a form instantly from the payments dashboard or in the case in NextChapter.

Invite Client to MyChapter

Next, invite your client to NextChapter’s Client Portal. They’ll get an email with a secure link to access the portal and view the invoice.

Notification of Receipt

Once the client completes their payment, they'll receive a receipt in an email, and your law firm will also get a notification.

Client Pays Fees in the Portal

Using the portal, the client makes a payment on the invoice using their preferred payment method. They can pay whenever it’s convenient, giving them more flexibility.

Fee Import

Each client payment is recorded within the fee section in the case dashboard, and appears in the Miscellaneous tab. Within your law firm payments dashboard, you can track whether each payment has been paid.

Payment Processed

The payment will be transferred to your law firm’s linked bank account.

Options for Every Bankruptcy Case

Use NextChapter Payments to collect bankruptcy fees for any type of case, whether Chapter 7, 11, 12, or 13. Set up either one-time fee payments or recurring payment plans, including a bankruptcy pre-filing payment plan. NextChapter automatically records the payment if your client uses the online portal, and you can also enter in payment information yourself if it's made via phone or in-person.
