Payments & Wallet
Get paid, keep the records, stay out of arguments
Client payments, fee tracking, refunds and payouts run through one system — so the money side of your practice has the same paper trail as the casework.
Immigration fees are genuinely complicated, and clients know it
A single case can carry your legal fee, IRCC government fees, and third-party costs like biometrics or translation. When those arrive as separate requests over months, clients lose track and start to suspect they are being overcharged — even when they are not.
What it does
The detail
Stripe for every payment
All client payments run through Stripe. Clients can pay in their own currency; Stripe handles conversion and you settle in CAD.
Fee transparency
Legal fees, IRCC fees and third-party fees are set out separately so the client can see what each amount is for.
Your wallet
Earnings accumulate in your Blift wallet with a transaction record you can inspect line by line.
Payouts
Register a payout account and withdraw your balance, with withdrawal requests tracked end to end.
Refunds
Clients can request a refund and you can initiate one, with a review queue rather than an ad-hoc email negotiation.
Commission invoices
Blift’s service fee is invoiced clearly, so your own accounting reflects what the platform actually charged.
How it works
In practice
- 1
Set the fees on the case
Legal, IRCC and third-party fees are defined against the case, so the client sees the whole picture rather than a series of surprises.
- 2
Client pays through Stripe
They pay in the currency they use. The transaction is recorded against the case automatically.
- 3
Funds land in your wallet
Your balance reflects completed work, with a transaction history you can drill into at any time.
- 4
Withdraw when you want
Request a withdrawal to your registered payout account and track it through to completion.
