Integrations

Summary:
Integrate payment gateway functionality into LendingWise, allowing users to send invoices and collect payments from borrowers directly. This integration should support popular payment platforms like Authorize.net, PayPal, and Stripe, with a user-friendly interface for seamless invoicing and payment management.

Description:
This feature would enable LendingWise users to manage payments efficiently through an integrated payment gateway. Users can send invoices, process payments, and track transactions either as part of the loan application process or through stand-alone direct billing options.

Key functionalities include:

Multi-Gateway Support:

Allow users to choose from Authorize.net, PayPal, Stripe, or other widely-used payment gateways for flexibility and broader compatibility.
Embedded Payment Workflow:

Integrate payment and invoicing features into the loan application process. Borrowers can view and pay invoices directly within their loan portal, ensuring payments align with loan milestones.
Standalone Direct Billing:

Enable users to generate and send ad-hoc invoices to borrowers or third parties for miscellaneous fees, services, or adjustments related to a specific loan level service or loan payment.
Customizable Invoices:

Allow users to add branding, itemized charges, and payment terms to invoices for a professional presentation.
Real-Time Payment Tracking:

Display payment status updates (e.g., pending, paid, failed) and provide automated notifications to users and borrowers about overdue or completed payments.
Secure Payment Processing:

Ensure secure handling of sensitive payment data with PCI-compliant integrations and encrypted transactions.
Reporting and Reconciliation:

Generate reports on payment activity for individual loans or across the portfolio, assisting in financial tracking and reconciliation.
Why This Is Valuable:

Efficiency: Streamlines the invoicing and payment collection process, saving time for both lenders and borrowers.
Enhanced Borrower Experience: Simplifies the payment process for borrowers, making it easy to pay fees or bills on demand.
Compliance and Security: Supports secure payment processing with industry-standard compliance, reducing risks.
Centralized Financial Management: Combines payment tracking with loan management in one platform, minimizing the need for external tools.
