What is invoicing
An invoice is a formal document requesting payment for goods or services provided, outlining the details of the transaction.
An invoice can be created by you manually creating on in Beyond Classes --> Invoicing or right before a subscription renewal. An invoice "opens" when you manually send an invoice to a customer or right before a package or subscription is charged.
Every time your customers have a subscription an invoice is created ~1 hour before automated attempts to process the payment through the customer's default payment method charge the invoice.
When are invoices created for my automated subscriptions
Invoices are created about 1 hour before subscriptions are set to renew.
What do the Status' next to the invoices mean?
Status | Description | Possible Actions |
Open | The invoice is finalized and awaiting payment. |
|
Paid | This invoice is paid. | No further actions. |
Cancelled | This invoice is canceled. | No further actions. |
Uncollectible | The customer is unlikely to pay the invoice. Normally, you treat it as bad debt in your accounting process. |
