Even if you don't chase checks, I'm sure you chase clients around their schedules to get paid. That's the pain that Anchor fixes. I'm so excited!

When I started my business, I bought a brand new car to pick up my clients' checks all over town. It had 160.000 miles on it two years later. Even if you don't chase checks, I'm sure you chase clients around their schedules to get paid. That's the pain that Anchor fixes. I'm so excited!

Reviews from QuickBooks Marketplace

“Proposals in under 60 secs, best support!”

“Once my templates were built out, I can have a proposal out the door in less than 60 seconds. The support and customer service are fantastic, one of the best in the software 'sphere' I work in.”

KariB, United States
Yes, I recommend this product.

"Perfect for any service based business"

Anchor has allowed me to provide clients the ability to choose the package that works for them while automatically collecting payment monthly.  It has removed me for collecting payment which has been a huge time saver as a solo firm runner."

KatieH, United States
 It's incredibly cost effective and easy to use.

"Amazing Proposal and Invoicing Tool"

Anchor has been awesome since we've started using it! I like that you can build out your templates, and send very professional and customizable proposals to clients. I've gotten great feedback from clients overall, and I like the different features Anchor has to offer. It's also very inexpensive and offers tremendous value.

FAQ

Does the platform integrate natively with standard accounting software?

Yes, it automatically pushes all cleared transactions and fees directly into QuickBooks Online and Xero for seamless ledger reconciliation.

Can I modify the design and service tiers of my marketing agency proposals?

You can fully white-label every proposal with your agency's logo and easily customize the deliverables, pricing models, and contract terms.

Are there monthly subscription costs or hidden software fees to use the platform?

No, you pay absolutely zero monthly overhead and are only charged a flat $5 fee per successful payment received.

What is the exact processing fee for accepting credit card payments?

Credit card transactions incur a standard 2.9% + $0.30 processing fee, which you can either choose to absorb or automatically pass through to your client.

Can team members perform specific billing tasks without seeing the whole agency's finances?

Yes, you can set granular team permissions. Assign specific action rights to your staff, allowing them to draft proposals or send invoices while keeping your overall agency revenue entirely private.

How do I transition legacy clients to this automated system without friction?

You have two options: import and re-send your existing agreement through Anchor to capture payment details only, or issue a brand-new agreement if you prefer a fresh start. Either way, clients get a simple, secure link to confirm their details in seconds, no lengthy re-signing required. If you're transitioning multiple clients at once, Anchor also supports bulk onboarding, so your entire client base can move over smoothly, without adding hours of manual work.

Can I delay a scheduled payment for a premium client who needs net-30 terms this month?

Yes, you can easily pause an automatic collection, adjust the due date for a specific billing cycle, or switch to manual invoicing for clients requiring flexible terms.

Are there limits on the invoice amounts or total revenue I can process through the platform?

No, there are no caps on transaction sizes or monthly processing volumes, making the platform perfectly suited for large media buys and high-ticket retainer agencies.

Will clients receive an onslaught of automated emails that look like spam?

No, all automated reminders, invoices, and receipts are fully white-labeled with your agency's logo and can be strictly configured to match your exact communication cadence.

‍Who covers the payment processing fees?

CH payments are completely free, and you have full control to either absorb the processing fees for credit cards or pass them directly to your client. This allows you to dictate your exact billing mechanics during the initial agreement setup.

What happens if a client's pre-approved payment method fails?

If a client stops a payment within Anchor, it is placed on hold free of charge until they click "Resolve" to let it proceed. If a payment fails due to an external dispute or ACH return, it is marked as failed—incurring a $20 chargeback fee—and you can manually retry processing it in your dashboard after reviewing the issue with your client.

‍Is Anchor suitable for agencies with multiple team members?

Yes. Anchor includes team management features that let you add as many users as your agency needs. You can assign and customize access permissions per user controlling who can create, edit, or view proposals, invoices, and client information making it easy to delegate billing tasks without losing oversight.

‍How does Anchor improve cash flow predictability?

Because payments are collected automatically based on pre-approved terms, revenue arrives consistently and on schedule. Anchor's business dashboard provides real-time visibility into revenue forecasts, invoice pipelines, outstanding amounts, and upcoming collections giving firm owners the data they need to plan confidently and eliminate cash flow surprises.
With Anchor, your invoicing and payments data automatically syncs with QuickBooks Online, ensuring a successful reconciliation and keeping your books up-to-date.
