Payment history and actions

Invoices

Invoices are generated by the system. The charges on each invoice reflect the setup/one-time, recurring and usage charges of that customer's packages. Invoices increase the customer's balance.

To add new packages or charges to a customer, use the "Order new package" or "One-time charge" links in the Packages section of the Customer View page.

To generate a pending invoice for a customer, use the "Bill now" link at the top of the Customer View page.

Payments

Payments are money the customer pays. Payments decrease the customer's balance.

Check and Cash payments

• How to post payments
• Applying and unapplying payments.
• Quick payment entry (Checks)

Credit card and electronic check (ACH) payments

• How to run credit cards

• Credit card or electronic check payments will be initiated by the system for customers with Billing Type "Credit card (automatic)" or "Electronic Check (automatic)".

• Payments can be initiated manually by using the "Process credit card payment" or "Process electronic check (ACH) payment" links, in the Payment History section of the customer view page.

• Customers may use the self-service interface to pay by credit card or electronic check themselves.

Credits

Credits are adjustments to the amount the customer owes. Credits decrease the customer's balance.

• To post a credit, use the "Enter credit" link at the top of the Payment History section of the customer view page.
  • Enter the amount to credit.
  • Select the reason for the credit or enter a new reason.
  • Leave "Auto-apply to invoices" set to "yes" if you would like the system to apply the credit to any open invoices (oldest first). Or change "Auto-apply to invoices" to "no" if you would like to apply the credit to invoice(s) (or refund(s)) manually.

• Like payments, credits can be applied to an invoice (or split between multiple invoices). For example, a credit to reverse an incorrect invoice or write off an invoice as bad debt could be applied to that specific invoice.
• Credits can also be applied to refunds to indicate that the credit was refunded to the customer instead.
• The "(apply)" and "(unapply)" links next to specific credits (in the Payment History section of the customer view page) can be used to change the application of credits to specific invoice(s) and/or refunds(s).

Refunds

Refunds are money paid to the customer. Refunds increase the customer's balance.

Check and Cash refunds

• Posting refunds
• Applying and unapplying refunds.

Credit card and electronic check (ACH) refunds
