We are thrilled to bring you our latest feature - Card Payment Requests. This update empowers you to effortlessly generate and send Stripe payment request links for outstanding invoice payments, simplifying your financial operations and enhancing the payment experience for your guests.

How to Initiate a Card Payment Request:

  1. Navigate to the invoice that you want the guest to pay.

  2. Click the issued invoice.

  3. On the issued invoice, click 'Actions' and select 'Request card payment'.

Remember, a Stripe payment request can be resent if needed, creating a new request while automatically cancelling the previous one linked to the same invoice.

What Happens Next?

Once the payment request is made, a payment link is emailed to the designated recipient. They can use this link to make a card payment for the outstanding amount specified in the invoice. Successful payments generate a receipt, inclusive of its associated GL analysis, which can be processed seamlessly within any accounting interface. The receipt is then automatically allocated to the invoice it is fulfilling.

Important Considerations:

  • For this feature to be operational, the workspace needs to have the Invoicing feature enabled and a Stripe account added.

  • In the future, we aim to extend this feature to allow for the selection of multiple invoices on the same booking, including their balances.

This Card Payment Request feature will revolutionise your financial management, providing a streamlined and efficient payment process. For any assistance or queries, our dedicated support team is always ready to help. Feel free to reach out at [email protected] or via the Intercom app messenger.

All the best,

Team Lavanda
