LegalTech platforms are reshaping how law firms operate—digitizing everything from client intake to case management. But when it comes to payments, many platforms still rely on outdated tools or patch together general-purpose processors like Stripe.

That’s where Payload comes in.

Built specifically for industries with complex compliance needs, Payload gives LegalTech platforms the tools to offer embedded, IOLTA-compliant payments—without the friction or legal risk.

Your users don’t want to juggle a separate payment processor. They want a seamless experience within your platform—one that handles trust account compliance, client invoicing, and payments with ease.

Here’s how Payload helps LegalTech platforms stand out:

• IOLTA Compliance, Built In

  Automatically route funds to the right accounts without risking co-mingling or ethics violations.

• Developer-First Integration

  Our APIs are straightforward and well-documented, with real support—not chatbots.

• Client-Friendly Tools

  Custom-branded payment portals, saved payment methods, and real-time tracking make it easier for law firms to collect payments and deliver a modern client experience.

• Enterprise-Level Support Without the Bloat

  We work directly with your team and your customers to ensure fast onboarding, responsive support, and zero red tape.

While Stripe is powerful, it’s not purpose-built for legal. It doesn’t understand IOLTA. It doesn’t help with client-fee flexibility. And your support tickets? Good luck.

Payload offers fully customizable workflows and pricing models—choose whether to pay, pass, or split transaction fees. Onboarding is API-driven and seamless for embedded use cases, and our rates are often lower than the larger, one-size-fits-all processors.

Legacy platforms like LawPay offer some legal workflows—but they’re built on older infrastructure, with less flexibility and a less modern experience for both platforms and their users.

Payload gives you the best of both worlds: enterprise-grade security and compliance, without sacrificing simplicity, control, or responsiveness.

If you're building tools for law firms, your payment experience needs to reflect the same level of precision, compliance, and usability. Payload helps you offer embedded legal payments that feel like part of your platform—not an afterthought.

Let’s talk about making payments a differentiator, not a bottleneck.
