but with lots of clients and websites it becomes a faff to track the payments

-> how can it be difficult to track payments? either an invoice is paid or it isn't.

50 clients all making payments on a monthly basis. Reviewing your bank account for payments, marking invoices as paid (harder to differentiate if they are all the same amount). That's a faff. Setting up recurring billing via PayPal with auto-invoice marking as paid removes this.

It looks like Corduroy allows clients to pay for their invoices via credit card online. Is this correct? Can they setup a recurring payment via credit card?

Thanks,

yes, corduroy supports recurring billing with credit cards, but currently only with braintree (cards are not stored in corduroy's database for PCI compliance, so it requires a braintree account with a vault).

customers can login and see their invoices and do one-time payments as well as manage their stored cards.

So I signup, add my bank account details, and then my clients can pay me via their credit cards, which they can put on record and do a recurring payment?
you would need to signup for a merchant account with braintree first and tie that to your bank account, and then you would enter your braintree account info into corduroy.

when your customers (or your staff) would enter a credit card and choose to save it, it gets stored in your braintree vault and future payments tell braintree to use that stored card to process the payment.
