Modernizing Payment Workflows for Accounting & Corporate Secretarial Firms

In today’s fast-evolving regulatory and business environment, accounting and corporate secretarial firms in Singapore are under mounting pressure to remain compliant, manage real-time cash flows, and reduce administrative overhead—all while delivering a smooth client experience.

With Singapore’s digital payments market projected to double to USD 180 billion by 2029, and Southeast Asia’s digital economy expected to surpass USD 1 trillion (1), modernizing your payment workflows isn’t just a nice-to-have—it’s mission-critical.

Why Modernize Your Payment Workflows?

Whether you handle incorporation packages, compliance filings, or ongoing accounting retainers, traditional methods such as manual invoicing and bank transfers often cause delays, errors, and client friction.

By upgrading to a modern payment infrastructure, firms can streamline operations, improve cash flow visibility, and enhance the client experience.

⚙️ Automate Invoicing and Collections

API-First Integrations

Instantly generate payment links the moment an invoice is created in Xero, QuickBooks, or your in-house billing system—no more manual copy-pasting. Clients receive ready-to-pay links via SMS, email, or WhatsApp, complete with pre-filled amounts and multiple payment options.

Webhooks for Real-Time Sync

Automatically update your ERP or CRM when payments succeed, refunds are processed, or subscriptions renew. This drastically reduces reconciliation time and provides instant cash flow visibility.

💳 Offer More Payment Options & Accelerate Collections

Multiple Payment Methods

Accept credit/debit cards (domestic and international) and PayNow via a single Razorpay integration. Giving clients flexible options reduces drop-offs and speeds up payment cycles.

QR-Based PayNow Payments

Clients can simply scan a QR code and pay using their mobile banking app—creating a frictionless, familiar experience for Singapore-based customers.

Auto Reminders & Expiry Controls

Configure automated payment reminders and link expiry settings to prompt clients before due dates and minimize late payments.



🔁 Simplify Recurring Billing & Retainer Management

Retainer Plans Made Easy

Automate monthly or quarterly retainers through scheduled billing. For variable or usage-based services, dynamically add charges via API.

Automated Invoicing

Each billing cycle automatically generates a branded, professional invoice, reinforcing your firm’s credibility while reducing manual work.

🔌 Seamless Integrations for E-Commerce & Client Portals

Out-of-the-Box Plugins

Integrate with platforms like Shopify, WooCommerce, and Magento to enable direct payments from client dashboards or portals.

Mobile SDKs & Hosted Checkout Pages

Embed Razorpay’s secure checkout experience within your web or mobile app using developer-friendly SDKs—complete with your firm’s branding.

🔒 Enterprise-Grade Security & Local Support

Compliance Built-In

Razorpay is PCI DSS, GDPR, and ISO 27001 certified, ensuring that both your firm’s and your clients’ data meet global security standards.

Access responsive, local support to help you onboard quickly, resolve issues efficiently, and maintain business continuity.
