Frequently asked questions
Alternative Payments is an independent platform built exclusively for MSPs, covering accounts receivable, accounts payable, and analytics in one subscription. It includes a branded client portal, free ACH, per-customer surcharging, and integrations with ConnectWise, Autotask, HaloPSA, and SuperOps.
Alternative Payments uses flat, transparent subscription pricing with free ACH and no hidden transaction fees. WisePay charges $0.75 per ACH transaction. On a recurring client base, that adds up quickly. Alternative Payments partners save an average of $2,340 per month in processing fees after switching, driven primarily by free ACH and built-in surcharging that passes credit card costs to clients who pay by card.
Yes. Alternative Payments migrates stored ACH and credit card payment methods from WisePay in a PCI-compliant process, so your clients don't need to re-enter their payment details. Invoice history carries over through your PSA and accounting integrations. Most MSPs are fully operational within a few days of starting the migration, and our onboarding team handles the setup with you from start to finish.
Yes. Alternative Payments integrates natively with ConnectWise, Autotask, HaloPSA, and SuperOps on the PSA side, plus QuickBooks Online, Xero, Sage Intacct, and other accounting platforms for bidirectional sync. If your stack includes HaloPSA or SuperOps, WisePay isn't an option.
No. Alternative Payments doesn't lock you into multi-year terms. You keep using the platform because it's working, not because you're contractually obligated to.
