Invoicing gives you the flexibility to collect payment from clients at a later date rather than requiring immediate payment. With OfferingTree's invoicing feature, you can create invoices when registering clients, through the point of sale, or from existing unpaid registrations. Clients automatically receive email notifications and payment reminders, and you can track all invoices and record payments through the Reports section.
How to Create an Invoice
Method 1: From Client Registration
- Add a client to your event
- When the payment screen appears, select "Pay Later" instead of "Checkout"
- Click Submit
- The registration will be marked as "Unpaid" in the client's profile
- Navigate to the client's profile and go to their Registrations tab
- Click the "Send Invoice for Unpaid Items" action button for unpaid items. Adjust the date range if needed to include multiple unpaid events
- Select which unpaid items to include in the invoice
- Click "Send Invoice for X Registration"
- Modify the price or apply discount codes if needed. Set the payment due date.
- Click "Send Invoice"
Method 2: Through Point of Sale
- Open the Point of Sale and add your contact/choose your client
- Select items to include (classes, packages, store items, etc.)
- Note: Memberships cannot be invoiced
- Go to the checkout page and select "Send an Invoice" instead of taking payment or choosing "Pay Later"
- Set the due date and apply any discount codes as needed.
- Review the breakdown including taxes and fees
- Add additional items if needed
- Click "Build Your Invoice"
