Collect prep fees
Every morning, WebRun checks TaxDome for clients with unpaid prep fee invoices, verifies the balance in Stripe, drafts a polite payment reminder for each unpaid client, and posts a Slack summary so the preparer can review the drafts and decide which ones to send before releasing any completed returns.

Questions, answered
Will it charge the client's card automatically?
No. WebRun drafts a payment reminder and leaves it unsent for the preparer to review. It never charges a card, initiates a payment, or sends any message to a client without your explicit approval.
Can it hold the completed return until the invoice is paid?
WebRun flags in the Slack alert which clients have a completed return that has not been released yet, so the preparer can see at a glance who to prioritize. The hold itself is managed inside TaxDome by the preparer.
What if a client paid but TaxDome has not updated yet?
WebRun cross-checks the balance in Stripe before drafting any reminder, so if Stripe shows a zero balance the client is skipped even if TaxDome is lagging. This prevents sending a reminder to someone who already paid.
