LawPayAutomation & Integration
Connect LawPay payment requests, transaction events, refunds, and invoice follow-up workflows.
LawPay uses the AffiniPay payment platform for legal payment workflows. I connect authorized payment links and transaction events to firm-approved intake, billing, and onboarding steps.

How I use LawPay
Depending on the project, a LawPay integration can use restricted merchant credentials or an approved AffiniPay partner OAuth application. I use hosted or tokenized payment collection, keep test and live credentials separate, and treat each verified payment or refund state as an input to the firm's workflow. The firm—not the automation—decides how funds relate to operating or trust accounts.

From LawPay to useful action

What the integration supports
Facts checked
Authentication and access
For a firm's own account, use restricted LawPay/AffiniPay gateway credentials. A multi-merchant integration requires an AffiniPay partner OAuth application, merchant authorization with the payments scope, and separate gateway credentials for transaction calls.
Useful data and actions
- Merchant accounts, bank accounts, charges, refunds, and recurring-charge records available to the authorized credentials
- Hosted payment-page or invoice-link references and transaction status
- Gateway event notifications for charge and recurring-charge changes
Constraints to confirm
- Partner integrations must be approved before going live; test and live credentials, accounts, and webhook endpoints must stay separated.
- Use hosted or tokenized payment collection so card data does not pass through the automation service; the firm's PCI obligations depend on the chosen flow.
- Routing money to operating or trust accounts is a firm-controlled legal-accounting decision, not something the integration should infer from a payment event.
