Built for mediators, parenting coordinators & court-appointed neutrals
One invoice, split between parties. Stop chasing checks.
Your fee is split between the parties, often by court order, but collecting it lands on you. FlowPay gives each party their own payment link for their share, shows you who has paid, and when an invoice is partly paid it issues whoever still owes a fresh link for the exact remainder. Funds settle straight to your Stripe account.

The real problem
You trained to resolve disputes.
Not to run a collections department.
When a fee is split between parties, by court order or by agreement, collecting it becomes part of your job. Here is what that usually looks like, and what it looks like with per-party collection.
✕ Collecting a split fee today
- One joint invoiceA single bill goes out to counsel or the parties, and responsibility for paying it belongs to everyone, which means no one.
- Checks in the mailShares arrive by check or wire, weeks apart, in amounts that don't quite match the split.
- A spreadsheet named who-paid.xlsxYou reconcile payments against the ledger by hand to work out which party still owes what.
- Awkward reminder callsThe neutral in the room becomes the person chasing one side for money. When a court-ordered share goes unpaid, enforcement can mean months and a motion in the court that ordered it.

Why you can trust FlowPay with billing
Built on Stripe
Every payment runs on Stripe-hosted checkout. Card data goes to Stripe, never to FlowPay.
Your money never stops with us
Funds settle directly to your own Stripe account through Stripe Connect. FlowPay is never in custody of your funds or your clients' funds.
Professional fees only
FlowPay handles service fees: mediation, arbitration, evaluation. It is not for trust or IOLTA money, and we say so plainly.
FAQ
Common questions
Do the parties need FlowPay accounts?
No. Each party receives a secure Stripe-hosted payment link by email and pays their share by card. Only you, the practice, have a FlowPay account.
What if one party refuses to pay?
FlowPay can't force someone to pay, but it takes the chasing off your plate. Their payment link stays live, so they can settle the moment they're ready without another invoice from you. Your dashboard shows exactly who has paid and who hasn't, per party, in real time. If the invoice is only partly covered, every outstanding party automatically gets a fresh link for what's left. And if you do need to escalate, you're working from a clean, timestamped record instead of guesswork.
Does FlowPay hold my money?
No. Payments settle directly to your own Stripe account through Stripe Connect. FlowPay runs the collection and takes its fee, but is never in custody of your funds or your clients' funds.
Can I use FlowPay for retainers held in trust?
No. FlowPay is for professional service fees only: mediation fees, arbitrator compensation, evaluation fees. It is not for trust or IOLTA deposits, settlement funds, or any money you hold on behalf of someone else.
What does it really cost, all-in?
Two fees, and we'd rather you do this math here than in your head later. FlowPay charges 2% per collected invoice on the Solo plan, and Stripe charges its standard card rate (2.9% plus 30 cents per payment) on each share. On a $3,000 fee split two ways, that's about $60 to FlowPay and about $88 to Stripe, roughly $148 total. What you're buying is the hours you don't spend reconciling, reminding, and calling, and a live per-party record that shows who still owes the moment you look.
Do I keep my current billing software?
Yes. FlowPay doesn't replace Clio, your practice-management system, or your invoicing. Those tools are good at recording who owes what. FlowPay is the collection layer: it takes the split you've already decided on and actually collects it, one payment link per party.
What about refunds and chargebacks?
Payments are standard Stripe card payments. Refunds are issued through Stripe, and if a party disputes a charge with their card issuer, it runs through Stripe's normal dispute process. FlowPay's per-party record helps here: you have a timestamped trail of who was invoiced what, who paid, and when, which is exactly the evidence a dispute asks for.
What happens to my practice if FlowPay disappears?
You lose remarkably little, by design. Your money settles directly into your own Stripe account on every payment, so your funds and your full payment history live in your Stripe dashboard, not inside FlowPay. If we vanished tomorrow, your collected fees, your records, and your Stripe account would all still be yours.
Do I need to use Stripe?
Yes. FlowPay is built on Stripe Connect. If you already accept payments through Stripe, connect your account in minutes. If you don't, we walk you through Stripe signup as part of FlowPay onboarding.
What does FlowPay charge?
Solo is $0 per month with 2% per collected invoice. Practice is $150 per month with 0.9%, for practices that bill every week. Firm pricing is negotiated. Standard Stripe processing fees apply on top.
How fast can I be live?
Under an hour from signup if you already have a Stripe account. Connect Stripe, send your first split invoice in test mode, then go live.
Where's my data hosted?
AWS US (us-east-2 primary). FlowPay never stores card numbers; those flow through Stripe's hosted checkout.
Ready to stop chasing checks?
Request an invite, connect your Stripe account, and send your first split invoice. Setup takes under an hour if you already use Stripe, and a person answers every message.
