Platform

General and technical questions about our platform and features.

I'm not very tech savvy. Can I still use Chargezoom?

Absolutely! Chargezoom is made for everyone and no training is needed, but just in case you prefer a friend to guide you, our friendly staff in California is available to walk through the setup with you and can be reached any time through the platform or by telephone.

Does Chargezoom work with Windows or Mac?

Both! Chargezoom is a cloud-based software that does NOT need to be installed. All that is needed is a web browser to access. You won't even need to ask the I.T. person or your web team for help.

What is bi-directional synchronization?

In simple terms, it means that we are synchronizing your data in two directions. We make sure that every invoice sent from your accounting software is matched up with the payment received. This process is continuous so the reconciliation is posted to your accounting software immediately.
