Update Payer Settings for Your Organization's Transactions – Proof Help Center
The Proof Help Center article explains how organizations can update their payer settings to choose whether their account or the recipients pay for transaction costs by navigating to Settings > Billing & payment > Payer settings, selecting either "Charge this account" or "Charge recipients," and saving the changes, with additional support available if needed.
The short answer: You can control whether your organization or your signers pay for transactions — update this anytime from Billing & Payment in Settings.
Options for Payer
When setting up payer preferences for your Proof Business, Title, or Lender account, you have two options for who covers the cost of each transaction:
- Charge this account — Your payment method is charged, and recipients can access their documents immediately after the transaction is complete.
- Charge recipients — The recipient is prompted for payment after their transaction is complete and cannot access their documents until payment is made.
Update Payer Settings
To update your payer settings, follow these steps from your Proof account:
- 1.Click Settings from the menu on the left.
- 2.Click Billing & payment from the Settings page menu.
- 3.Select the Payer settings tab.
- 4.Select the radio button next to the desired option.
- 5.Click Save changes.
If you need to update payment for a specific transaction already uploaded to Proof, see Pay for a Transaction.
Summary Checklist
- Go to Settings > Billing & payment > Payer settings.
- Select Charge this account or Charge recipients.
- Click Save changes.

Create and Share Referral Campaigns for Organizations
Referral campaigns in Proof allow organizations to create and share branded, shareable referral links—either via their account or API—that direct customers to Proof's signer upload page, with customizable payment settings (signer pays or organization pays), and transactions completed through these links are independent of the organization's account unless created via API with a redirect to the organization's EasyLink.
