Knoxville, United States – Paymo, the project management, time tracking, and invoicing software, announced the launch of PM payments, an integrated platform that allows Paymo users to get paid online with a single click.
PM payments is a fully integrated, custom built payment solution that provides small and midsize companies with a simple and secure way to accept payments.

A client can pay an invoice by credit card or ACH.
“The smartest businesses are accelerating their use of technology to better serve customers with added convenience, while increasing their own efficiency and profitability with integrated solutions,” says Jan Lukacs, CEO and co founder of Paymo. “With integrated payments, you don’t wait for checks to arrive by mail. Instead, you empower your clients to pay invoices digitally, anytime and from anywhere, with their preferred payment methods.
The launch and integration of PM Payments into Paymo consolidates the platform as an efficient all in one solution that allows professional service agencies, firms, and freelancers to manage their projects and work from start to finish in one central location.
