How to Pay Invoices in the Lee Advertising Portal

The Lee Advertising Portal gives you a secure way to review open invoices and make payments online by ACH/bank payment or credit card. Customers may also continue to pay by mailed check.

What is it?

The Open Invoices section of the Lee Advertising Portal shows invoices that currently have an outstanding balance. From this screen, you can review what is owed, select one or multiple invoices, choose how much you would like to pay, and submit your payment.

For each invoice, you will see:

• Invoice Amount: The original total amount of the invoice.
• Taxes: Any applicable taxes.
• Balance: The amount that is still owed on the invoice.

Why am I using it?

The portal allows you to manage payments directly without contacting Lee for each individual invoice. You can pay multiple invoices at once, make a partial payment, and choose the payment method that works best for you.

Credit card payments may be subject to a 3% processing surcharge, which is never greater than our cost of acceptance.

How do I pay my invoices online?

1. Log in to the Lee Advertising Portal using your email/username and password.
2. Click Open Invoices to see your outstanding invoices.
3. Click Show Invoice Payment Options.
4. Choose your payment method:
   • Bank / ACH
   • Credit Card
5. Checkboxes will appear on the far-right side of the invoice list. You can:
   • Select the checkbox in the blue header row to select all invoices.
   • Select individual checkboxes to pay only certain invoices.
6. Review the Pay Amount for each invoice. The portal will automatically enter the remaining balance, but you can change the amount if you would like to make a partial payment.
7. Review the subtotal at the bottom of the page and click Pay Selected Invoices.
8. You will have the option to enter a payment comment for Lee's Finance team. Enter a comment if needed, then click Continue.
9. Enter or select your ACH bank or credit card payment information and submit the payment.
10. After your payment has been successfully processed, a digital receipt will be provided. Be sure to save your receipt at that time, as this is your opportunity to retain a copy for your records.

Can I mail a check instead?

Yes. You may continue to pay your Lee advertising balance by check.

Please include the remittance coupon from your statement with your payment. If you do not have the coupon, include your full customer account number so Lee can accurately apply the payment to your account.

Mail payments to:

Lee Enterprises Advertising
P.O. Box 4690
Carol Stream, IL 60197-4690

Always review the remittance information on your current Lee statement before mailing a payment, as the statement should be treated as the source of truth for payment instructions.
