Getting paid by clients just got easier! The Bee now supports credit card payments from your clients via Stripe.com .
Stripe eliminates the need for you to have a merchant credit card account .
Merchant accounts can be time consuming and expensive to establish.
Here’s how it works:
In the Bee’s Profile section, go to the Online Payments tab.
Fill in the required setup information that you have obtained from Stripe.com
Once completed, your clients will now see the option to pay by credit card when they view your invoices online. Please note that Stripe.com deducts customary credit card processing fees of 2.9% plus a 30 cent per transaction fee.

In business, we sometimes offer different payment terms to different clients. Keeping a new client on a short leash with “net” payment terms is sometimes the way to go. While other, long-term clients, earn the privelage of extended payment terms such as “net 30″.
The Bee now offers a way for you to select payment terms on a client by client basis. We have added a payment terms field to the client profile page. If you enter payment terms in this field, the terms will be placed on any new invoices you create for this client. If the terms field is left blank in the client profile, the Bee will continue to default the pament terms on new invoices to the last entry made on an invoice.

To help our customers better manage their growing businesses, the Bee now supports a more granular approach to “permissions” for team members. We’ve started by attacking the most critical areas based upon your feedback.
Now, Bee admins may restrict a team member’s access for Expenses and Time Entries, to allow the team member to only see their data. Meaning, the time associated with that team member, and the expenses that the team member has entered.
These permissions are still found and maintained in Setup / Team.
