Law Firm Billing Software

Create a service in Smarfle marked 'recurring' with an interval (weekly/monthly/quarterly/annually). When a client signs up via the portal or you generate the first invoice, Smarfle creates a Stripe Subscription on your connected Stripe account. Stripe bills the saved card automatically every cycle. Each successful charge auto-creates a paid invoice in your CRM.

Money goes straight to your Stripe account, not ours. We use Stripe Connect Express — Stripe holds the funds, transfers to your bank on your payout schedule. Smarfle never touches the money. You see the deposit in your bank within 2 business days (Standard payout) or instant (Stripe Instant Payout, fee applies).

Stripe automatically retries failed cards 3-4 times over a week. If all retries fail, Smarfle marks the subscription Past Due and emails the client a Stripe-hosted update-card link. Owner gets a notification too. The recurring invoice stays unpaid until the client fixes the card.

Attorney clocks time per matter from their device. Time aggregates to monthly invoice. Compliance with 6-minute increments + standard rates.

Set a threshold (e.g. $500) — when retainer balance drops below, Smarfle generates a replenish invoice + auto-charges client's saved card. Work continues uninterrupted.

Each flat-fee milestone is a separate invoice tagged to the matter. Client's saved card auto-charges with one click.
