Create a Test Client
One of the very best ways we've found to become comfortable with AdvicePay and understand how our different features work is to set up a test client account!
With this test client you can experiment with the invite process and requesting payment, see our emails to clients, as well as log in from the client portal and go through the steps of paying an invoice to yourself.
(Once your test client has made a payment, you can then track it on your advisor-side Transfers page and see how payouts work!)
Please note that if your firm has disabled advisor ability to create clients, only the Account Owner, Full Access Advisors, and Admins can add a client.
Important: All payments made within AdvicePay will not be deletable. Keep this in mind should you choose to process a test payment.
To begin creating a test client, click the Accounts > Clients tab in your sidebar and select Add Client.Add the test client information as you would a regular client. First name, Last name, Email, and assign them an Advisor. Feel free to utilize any other information if you prefer. Once complete, click Add Client. You are now on your way to test sending invoices, subscriptions and documents with the new client! 🎉
