Triggering a Payment Request
Please note: In order to trigger payment requests you must be connected to a Payment Gateway. The request payment button will not be visible on this report unless a payment gateway is active.
Go to Insights > Outstanding to see who still owes you money. Then, to request payment, just click the green button next to the guest's name.
Remember: The guest must have an email address associated with their booking in order for you to be able to send them a Payment Request.
What happens next?
Guests will receive an email with a payment link. Clicking the link will take them to a page where they can securely enter their card details and make the payment. You’ll then receive an email from us confirming that this payment has been made.
What do the emails look like?
Generic emails look like this
Title Final payment is now due for your stay at (Accommodation name)
Or you can customise your own Final Payment Request Email in Account > Customised Emails. You can find out more about customised emails here.

Archiving Outstanding Balances
Sometimes, instead of recording payments against old bookings, you might just want to archive any outstanding balance notifications to keep things neat, tidy and up-to-date.
How to archive outstanding balances
Go to Insights > Outstanding.
Click the Archive? button next to the reservation.
If you've made a mistake and want to reinstate the notification, just click the undo button. Please note you can only do this whilst you are still on the page. If you leave the page and then return, you won’t be able to reinstate the notification.
