They view balances, pay by card or ACH, manage payment methods, and approve or request changes to proofs - and every payment auto-credits in AccountScout.",{"question":24,"answer":25},"Can advertisers approve ad proofs online without calling the office?","Yes. Advertisers open their proof in the portal and either approve it or request changes with comments and file uploads, all without a phone call or email thread. The approval is tracked against the order in AccountScout, so production always knows where each ad stands.",{"question":27,"answer":28},"What software handles surcharge-compliant credit card payments for newspapers?","The Advertiser Portal handles surcharge-compliant card payments for newspapers automatically. The system applies surcharging rules where they are allowed and exempts debit and ACH payments by law, so your office does not have to track the compliance details on each transaction.",{"question":30,"answer":31},"How do small newspapers handle ad billing and collections?","Small newspapers cut billing and collections work by letting advertisers self-serve. The portal shows outstanding invoices and past-due balances, takes card and ACH payments online, and posts them straight to AccountScout - so clerks chase fewer payments by phone and close the month faster.",{"question":33,"answer":34},"How can a newspaper accept payments online without a separate processor login?","The Advertiser Portal accepts card and ACH payments online and credits them directly in AccountScout, so there is no separate processor portal to reconcile. Stored cards live in the AccountScout payment vault, and receipts and payment history are available to advertisers anytime.",{"question":36,"answer":37},"Does the advertiser portal work with AccountScout?","Yes. The Advertiser Portal is part of AccountScout by Fake Brains, so invoices, balances, proofs, and stored payment methods all read and write to the same database. Payments auto-credit with no manual reconciliation, and the portal is available as an add-on to AccountScout.",{"question":39,"answer":40},"Can the portal use our newspaper's branding?","Yes. The portal embeds on your publication's website by iframe and shows your header, footer, and URL - advertisers never see the Fake Brains name. You can also share it as a standalone link for email campaigns and invoice notices.",{"question":42,"answer":43},"Do advertisers need a password to use the portal?","No. Advertisers log in with a short-lived one-time verification code sent to their email, so there are no passwords to forget, reset, or store.
