A summary of payment resources

Customise settings to configure global payment options.

To open the Payments Options page:

Gateway Settings

At the top of the page, customise automatic payments options:

  • configure the global payment mode (direct capture or authorize)
  • enable or disable the partial payment feature

Field Name

Description

Payment Capture Mode

This defines whether card payments should be captured immediately, or simply authorized and then automatically captured later.

This is useful if you receive fraudulent card payments that are then charged back.

  • *Direct Capture** means payment is taken immediately.
  • *Authorize** means that payment is just pre-authed. The money will be held on the customer card, and you can then complete the charge later.

Authorization Capture Delay Days

How many days after the payment authorization above should the charge be completed.

Enable partial payment for clients

Can clients pay an invoice partially. If enabled, clients can choose a partial amount to pay on an invoice.

Statement Description

Some payment processors allow us to pass a description which can appear on the client statement.

🚧

You can add or remove payment gateways on a different page.

  • Consolidation = invoice consolidations

Charge invoice before due date

How many days before an invoice is due should the first charge be attempted.

Charge interval before due date (With pending payments)

Where the payment gateway is not instant and can take time (e.g. Direct Debit).

How many days before an invoice is due should the first charge be attempted.

Max days to attempt payment after charge date

  • Smaller (the earlier due date)
  • Bigger (the later due date)

Client Wallet

You can also customise client wallet settings.

Field Name

Auto-comsume balance on invoice due date

If an invoice falls due, and the client has account balance - should it be auto-consumed.

Possible Top-up

If a client does not have an active order, should they be prevented from topping up. A sensible fraud prevention setting.
It allows you to control top-up options regardless of active services. You have three options:

  • Allow top-ups for all clients.
  • Only allow top-ups for clients with active orders.
  • Never allow top-ups.
