# Accepting Payments

> What happens when a payment is received against a bill

Bills can be collected online via Electronic Bill Presentment or in person via Moment's off-platform network. For how each channel works, see [Presenting Bills](/documentation/billing/ebp).

Regardless of channel, Moment handles payment processing and notifies the merchant in real time.

***

## After Payment

Once a payment is received through either channel:

* The bill is automatically marked as **paid**.
* A receipt is provided to the customer.
* Payment status is updated in real time via the **Client Portal** and **webhooks**.

See [Webhooks](/documentation/billing/webhooks) for the events fired on payment.

<Note>
  For digital-first merchants who want to extend collection offline without a full Billing integration, [Paycode](/documentation/network/paycode) enables customers to start a payment in Checkout and complete it at any in-person pay point using a unique code.
