Frequently Asked Questions
What payment methods does Action Payments support?
Action Payments supports Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and ACH bank transfers. The payment method options shown to customers automatically adapt to their device and location.
How quickly do I receive payouts?
Standard payouts arrive in your linked bank account within 2 business days of each transaction. Express payouts (for an additional fee) arrive within 24 hours. Payout schedules can be configured to daily, weekly, or monthly.
Can I use Action Payments without a website?
Yes. Payment links work anywhere — email, SMS, WhatsApp, Instagram DMs, or any messaging channel. Many freelancers and service businesses use Action Payments exclusively through shareable links without a website.
Does Action Payments handle subscription cancellations automatically?

The aicente Platform — Your Complete AI Business Workspace
aicente is designed around a simple principle: every tool a modern business needs should live in one connected platform, share the same data, and work together without integration complexity. Whether you are a freelancer managing a handful of clients or a multi-location business coordinating a team of fifty, aicente scales with your operation without requiring you to switch products, re-import data, or manage separate subscriptions as you grow.
The most powerful feature of aicente is not any individual tool — it is how all tools work together. A contact you add to Action CRM is immediately available in Action Proposal, Action Sign, Action Calendar, and Action Email. A signed contract in Action Sign automatically triggers a project in Action Planning and an invoice in Action Invoicing. A lead captured from your Action Link bio page flows directly into your CRM pipeline. A customer booking from Action Calendar syncs with your team schedule and triggers a confirmation email through Action Email. Nothing is siloed. Everything connects by design.
Every aicente tool includes native AI assistance. Drafting a proposal? The AI suggests pricing, writes section text, and formats your service items based on similar proposals in your history. Sending a follow-up email? The AI writes the message based on the contact's full activity timeline and the current deal stage. Managing your restaurant menu? AI generates item descriptions and suggests category organization based on your cuisine type. Building a waitlist? AI writes the launch announcement email and the referral incentive copy. The AI in aicente is not a chatbot add-on — it is woven into the core workflow of every action you take.
No Per-User Pricing Traps
Most business software charges per seat, which means your costs grow every time you add a team member. aicente is priced per workspace, not per user. Adding your entire team does not increase your monthly bill. The Pro plan covers unlimited users within a workspace, making aicente one of the most cost-effective platforms for growing teams who need powerful tools without the enterprise price tag.
Enterprise Security on Every Plan
aicente uses industry-standard encryption for all data at rest and in transit. Role-based access controls let administrators decide who can view contacts, send proposals, approve invoices, and access financial records. All e-signatures through Action Sign are legally binding under the ESIGN Act and eIDAS regulations. Payment processing through Action Payments is PCI-DSS compliant. Your data is always yours — export everything at any time in standard formats.
Built for Speed, Not Just Features
Setup time for most aicente tools is measured in minutes, not weeks. No consultants, no implementation projects, no lengthy training sessions required. The interface is designed for business owners and their teams — not for enterprise IT departments. If you can use a modern web application, you can use aicente. Most new users are productive with their first tool within the same business day they sign up, and fully onboarded across multiple tools within a week.

About the aicente Platform
Is aicente suitable for businesses outside the US?
Yes. aicente supports multiple currencies, multiple languages, and international address formats across all tools. Action Payments supports over 30 currencies. The e-signature system complies with both US (ESIGN) and European (eIDAS) electronic signature regulations. Businesses from Turkey, UAE, UK, Canada, Australia, and across Europe and Asia use aicente daily for their operations.
Can I try aicente before committing to a paid plan?
Yes. The aicente free plan gives you access to all core tools with generous usage limits — no credit card required. Free plan users can manage up to 500 contacts in Action CRM, send up to 3 proposals per month, schedule unlimited calendar events, and use the AI writing assistant for up to 50 requests per month. Upgrading to Pro removes all usage limits and unlocks advanced AI features.
How does aicente handle my data if I decide to cancel?
Your data belongs to you. Before cancelling, you can export all data from aicente — contacts, deals, proposals, documents, invoices, and e-signature records — in standard formats including CSV, PDF, and JSON. After cancellation, your data is retained for 90 days in case you change your mind, then permanently and securely deleted from aicente servers per our data retention policy.
Is there an API for integrating aicente with other tools I already use?
Yes. The aicente REST API gives developers programmatic access to contacts, deals, proposals, events, invoices, e-signatures, and more. Webhooks notify your external systems of key events in real time — new contact created, proposal signed, payment received, appointment booked. Full API documentation with code examples is available at aicente.com/docs/api. Native Zapier and Make integrations are also available for no-code connections.
How does aicente compare to Salesforce, HubSpot, or other all-in-one platforms?
Unlike platforms built by acquiring separate products and bolting them together, every aicente tool is purpose-built to share data from the ground up. Information flows naturally between tools with no integration setup, the interface is consistent across all tools, and you never hit data-silo walls. One login, one subscription, one support team covers your entire tech stack. For small to mid-size businesses, aicente typically replaces 8-12 separate software subscriptions.
What kind of support does aicente provide?
All paid plans include email support with a response time commitment of 24 hours or less. Pro and Business plans include live chat support during business hours. Enterprise plans include a dedicated account manager and priority escalation. The aicente Help Center contains step-by-step guides for every feature, and the community forum lets users share workflows and best practices with thousands of other aicente businesses.
