Payments Overview - Getting Started

The Payments tool allows you to accept payments from your customers quickly, easily, and securely.

You can collect payments from your customers using the following methods:

• Invoices - Email an invoice that the customer can pay directly online.
• One-time charge - Charge a variable amount at any time.
• Online Commerce - Set up an online store or scheduling system.
• Subscriptions - Charge a fixed amount on a recurring level.

 

Set up Payments

To set up payments, you’ll need to walk through the Setup Wizard. Navigate to the Global App Bar in the top-left corner of the screen, and then select Payments. If you have not yet set up the Payments app, you will see a welcome message, followed by a blue Unlock Payments button - select that button to begin the setup wizard.

Understand the Control Panel

The Payments Control Panel gives you a high-level overview of all payments and revenue. To access the Control Panel, click on the Global App Bar in the top-left corner of the screen and select Payments from the dropdown menu.

On the Control Panel, you can view your total revenue over the last 30 days, as well as get in-depth statistics on new customers, repeat customers, transactions, and refund amounts. Use the graph on the left-hand side to visualize your revenue trend and numbers at a glance.

Below that box, you’ll see your payout information. The top number shows you how much is scheduled to be transferred to your bank on your next payout. If you change your payout schedule to be paid out on a weekly basis, this number will continue to increase until that payout date; and then the number will reset. The second number is the last payout amount you received. 

 

One-Time Payment

The One-Time Payment page lets you enter a one-off payment for a customer. This page works best in situations like collecting a payment over the phone or any other situation where a detailed line-item invoice is not required.

You can click the blue Add One-Time Payment button at the top-left corner of the dashboard to enter the payment amount, card details, and customer information.

 

When you enter a one-time payment for an existing customer, the payment will be attached to their customer profile. If you create a one-time payment for a customer that does not yet have a customer profile, one will be created for them using the info you enter when submitting the one-time payment.

The Sales graph shows all of your one-time purchases over the last 90 days, as well as the total dollar amount of purchases from the 90 day window. Payments displayed here are broken into three main categories: paid, refunded, and failed.

Under the Sales graph is a list of all of your one-time transactions. Use the All Transactions tab to view paid, failed, and refunded transactions in one list, or click one of the other tabs to review only the transactions with a paid, refunded, or failed status. You can click on a customer's name to view their profile, or select the vertical ellipses to the right-hand side of the transaction to refund a payment.

At the top of the page, the Invoices Overview shows the total amount of paid invoices versus unpaid invoices. You can view and compare your overdue amount, with your not due yet amount. Overdue means that the client has been sent an invoice and has not paid, while not due yet means the invoice has been sent, but the due date has not yet happened. 

Below these overview numbers is a list of all of your invoices. You’ll see the customer name, invoice identification number, customer balance, invoice total, the date the invoice was finalized, the due date as specified by the invoice, as well as the status of each invoice. 

At the top of the list, are some pre-built filters to help you organize your information better. These include invoice drafts, ppen invoices, overdue invoices, as well as paid invoices. Click on these tabs to better organize the list of invoices and help you find what you need more quickly.

Payouts

In the Payouts dashboard, you’ll see your Payouts - Balance Overview. You’ll see an exact amount of the payments, refunds, and adjustments, that are on the way to your bank on your payout day. 

Payments refers to charges that generated revenue for your business. Refunds are refunds that were initiated on those transactions after that money had already been sent to the bank. Adjustments are credit notes that you made on invoices to adjust the balance after the fact.

You’ll also see a total for estimated future payouts. This number is based on the number of transactions that are still accumulating prior to your next payout date.
