Getting Started with Blawby

Welcome to Blawby. This guide helps you set up the essentials so your firm can accept payments quickly, stay organized, and avoid compliance mistakes early.

Quick Start Guide

Use the following steps to get started with Blawby:

  1. Sign Up for a Blawby Account. (2 minutes) Visit https://blawby.com and click Sign Up. Enter your email address and create a secure password. Provide your law firm's details and complete the verification process. For more information, see Setting Up Payouts.
    • Why this matters: this creates your firm workspace and gives your team one secure place to manage client payments.
  2. Set Up Your Account. (5 minutes) Connect your bank account by going to External payout accounts in your dashboard and following the prompts. Submit required business and representative information, including requested verification documents. Add accepted payment methods in Settings > Payments (card, ACH, or both). Ensure verification is complete to enable payouts. For a detailed guide, visit Payouts.
    • Why this matters: without verification, payments may process but payouts can be delayed.
  3. Get Your Custom Payment Link. (2 minutes) In your dashboard, go to Settings and select your Team name. Scroll to Payment Link, enter a unique link name (example: myfirm-payments), then save and copy your link. You can pre-fill amounts by adding amount in cents (for example: https://blawby.com/your-link-name?amount=1000 for $10.00). For more details, see Payments.
    • Why this matters: a consistent payment link makes it easier for staff to request payment and for clients to pay quickly.
  4. Share Your Payment Link and Start Accepting Payments. (2 minutes) Add your payment link to invoices, intake emails, website buttons, or direct client messages. Clients can pay securely by card or ACH, and receipts are sent automatically. Track payment activity in your dashboard under Payments. For more information, see Payments.
    • Why this matters: faster payment flow improves cash flow and reduces time spent chasing balances.

After setup, complete these three items to avoid early workflow issues:

  1. Use the Day-One Checklist to assign ownership.
  2. Set up your first invoice flow in Accept Your First Payment.
  3. Review Failed Payment & Chargeback SOP with your team.
