Electronic billing
Electronic billing or electronic bill payment and presentment, is when a seller such as company, organization, or group sends its bills or invoices over the internet, and customers pay the bills electronically.[1] This replaces the traditional method where invoices are sent in paper form and payments are done by manual means such as sending cheques.
Advantages to electronic billing include the faster presentation of invoices and reductions in costs compared to handling paper documents.
