8am, formerly AffiniPay, for legal payments and practice software
8am is the company formerly known as AffiniPay, which rebranded in 2025. It provides software and payment tools for law firms, accounting firms and other professional services businesses, including LawPay for legal payments, MyCase for law practice management and CPACharge for accounting firm payments. This page keeps the AffiniPay name because many firms still know it that way.
Where it fits
8am products fit small and mid-sized firms that want to accept card and bank payments, keep trust and operating funds properly separated, and run matters, billing and client communication in connected tools. Because 8am now offers several named products, start with the workflow you need, such as payments, practice management or document automation, then choose the product that serves it.
Common examples include a small law firm adding online payment links to invoices, a firm moving matter management and billing into MyCase, an accounting firm collecting client payments through CPACharge or an immigration practice reviewing Docketwise, another 8am product. Each project starts with the firm’s real workflow and the records that must stay accurate.
How EVERNET helps
We help your firm evaluate the relevant 8am products against how you bill, collect payments and manage matters. We help you understand licensing and which connections between products you actually need. Setup support includes user roles, security settings, email and calendar sync and the workstations staff use every day.
If you are moving from another billing or practice management system, we help plan the migration of contacts, matters and documents and check samples before you switch. We train staff and support the surrounding technology after launch. Our IT services for law firms cover the full practice, our managed IT services for accounting firms support CPACharge users and our cybersecurity services help protect client and payment data.
Before you start
- Data: Export client, matter and billing records from current systems, and confirm the trust balances you must reconcile.
- Permissions: Decide who can process payments, issue refunds and view trust activity.
- Integrations: List accounting, email, calendar and document tools that must connect.
- Account ownership: Keep merchant and software accounts in the firm’s name with two administrators.
- Security settings: Turn on two-factor authentication for every user who handles payments or client data.
Questions before you get started.
Which 8am application matches the firm's immediate workflow?
Choose the workflow before choosing the application: a payment collection problem, a practice-management need and document automation require different evaluations. The former AffiniPay website now directs visitors to 8am. Start with the relevant named 8am product, then examine its fit with the firm's existing systems and responsibilities.
Does the project concern payments, practice management or connections between named products?
Write down the result the firm needs and the systems involved in reaching it. If several 8am products are under consideration, identify which application owns each record and where handoffs occur. Evaluate the proposed connections and operational process before assuming a shared brand means every workflow is already connected.
Can EVERNET help with this workflow?
Yes. We help you connect the tool to the work your team needs to do, from evaluating fit to planning implementation and support. Tell us what you use today and where work gets stuck. We will outline responsibilities, deliverables and costs so you can decide how to proceed.
