Bank Transfer

Show your bank accounts to clients, collect their transfer notifications and confirm the payment on the invoice.

Reaching the Screen

Go to Settings → Financial → Payment Gateways, open All Modules and click the Bank Transfer card: {admin}/module/payment?module=BankTransfer

Adding the method to the list clients see is covered in Payment Modules.

What Is on the Screen

Status and two country lists sit at the top, the bank accounts below. Accounts are kept per language. The strip shows only the languages that carry accounts, and Add Language opens a new one.

A bank transfer is not an online payment. The order and the invoice are created at once, and the invoice stays unpaid. The client sends the money and submits a notification, then you check your account and mark the invoice paid.

Fields

General Settings

Bank Accounts

Each account is a card. Add Bank Info adds an empty card to the selected language tab.

To delete an account, click the bin icon on its card. To reorder the accounts, drag a card by its header. Both take effect with Save Changes.

Tasks

Add a bank account

1. Open the module card and tick Status.
2. Pick the tab of the language the account is for. If the language is not in the strip, click Add Language and choose it.
3. Click Add Bank Info and fill in the fields on the card.
4. Click Save Changes. Clients using that language now see the account on the order and invoice payment screens.

What the client goes through

1. The client picks Bank Transfer in the cart or on an invoice. The order and the invoice are created, and the invoice stays unpaid.
2. The page after the order shows your accounts, the amount due and the reference number. The reference is the invoice number.
3. The client sends the money, then fills in Account Wired To and Sender's Full Name in the form on the same page.
4. The client clicks Submit Transfer Notification. The invoice moves to Payment Pending and your staff are notified.

The client can send the same notification from the invoice page. In a bulk payment, every selected invoice moves to Payment Pending.

Confirm the transfer

1. Match the amount in your bank account by the reference and the sender's name.
2. Open the invoice: {admin}/invoices/detail?id={invoice}. The sender and account details sit in the History tab.
3. On Summary, pick Paid under Change Status and click Update Status.
4. The payment is recorded, and the order and the service are activated. If the money did not arrive, pick Unpaid or Cancelled.
