Open and check a sale

  1. In Sales, filter by status or date and open the sale.
  2. Check the payer, trip, currency, total, paid, and remaining amounts.
  3. Check the line items: base price, supplement, upgrades, extras, discounts.
  4. Read the schedule row by row.
  5. Open the Transactions tab for payments, refunds, and provider references.
  6. Check the payment link and reminder history.

Create a manual sale

Use New sale for a sale that did not come from a join request.

  1. Select New sale.
  2. Enter the payer, currency, and trip.
  3. Add line items with description, quantity, and amount.
  4. Build the payment schedule.
  5. Create the sale and open it.

To fix a sale that came from a join request, amend that sale instead of creating a new one.

Open the sale and create the payment link for the due amount. Check the payer’s email and the amount, then send the link to the payer only.

Amend a sale

Use the amendment action to add, remove, or reprice items. Check the new balance, then reapply the schedule if the interface offers it.

Record a manual payment

  1. Have the bank or accounting record to hand.
  2. Open the sale and choose the manual payment action.
  3. Enter the amount, date, method, and reference.
  4. Save and check the Transactions tab and the remaining balance.

Each payment appears once, and the remaining balance updates.

Record a refund

Open the sale, choose the refund action, and enter the amount and reference from the provider or bank. The refund stays visible in the transaction history.

Cancelling a trip or rejecting a request does not cancel payment links or refund money. Open each affected sale and handle links and refunds there.

Issue a fee note or receipt

Open the sale’s Documents tab, generate the document, and check the payer, amount, number, logo, and footnote. Download it or send it from the same tab.

Reminders

The Reminders view shows each reminder as Scheduled, Queued, Processing, Sent, Failed, or Cancelled. Before contacting a payer, check whether a reminder was just sent.

Export

Select Export CSV with the status and date range you need. Check the organization, currency, and row count before sending the file to accounting.

Every sale’s total, paid, remaining, and refunded amounts agree with the provider and your accounting records.
