# Routing payment to your accountant

Have a different person (an accountant or external billing contact) confirm the card on file.

## What this is

Many organizations have one person who manages legal beneficiaries (caseworker) and another who handles invoices (accountant). LeyApp lets you separate the two: the caseworker creates cohorts and bookings, the accountant confirms the card.

The accountant gets a single email with a magic link, confirms a card on Stripe, and from that moment all future bulk submissions authorize automatically.

## How to set it up

1. In Dashboard → Organization → Billing, choose "An external accountant" and enter their email.
2. Save. The accountant receives a confirmation that they were named billing contact.
3. On the next bulk booking submission, if no card is saved yet, we email the accountant a magic link to confirm the card.

## What the accountant sees

A LeyApp page that summarizes how many consultations they are authorizing and from which organization. They enter card details directly in a Stripe form — LeyApp never sees the data.

After they confirm, the cohort is automatically authorized and the caseworker is notified. The accountant gets a Stripe receipt for each consultation as it is captured.

> **Note**
> Saving the card never triggers a charge. Each consultation creates its own authorization at booking time and is only captured once the lawyer approves it.

## Reusing the saved card

Once a card is saved, all future bulk submissions for the same organization use it automatically. The accountant only needs to set it up once unless you replace the card.

## Changing the accountant

You can change the billing contact at any time. The new accountant will be asked to confirm the card the next time a payment authorization is needed.

> **Warning**
> Magic links expire after 7 days. If your accountant misses it, just trigger another bulk booking and a new link is sent.
