Payment Links in Invoices
When you create and send an invoice in Pitchbooking, the recipient will automatically receive an email notification. This email includes a secure payment link, allowing users to pay their invoice quickly and easily online.
What the Recipient Receives
Each invoice email includes:
The invoice number and issuing organisation
The total amount due and payment due date
A “Pay Now” button
Clicking “Pay Now” directs the recipient to a unique online checkout, where payment can be made instantly via Stripe.
Why Use Payment Links?
Using the payment link offers several benefits:
Faster payments via secure online checkout
No need for manual bank transfers
Automatic tracking of payments within Pitchbooking
For Users Paying by Bank Transfer
Some users may prefer to pay via bank transfer. In these cases:
Provide the appropriate details in the ‘Invoice Instructions’ section, including bank account information and any reference requirements
Ensure the user understands how to complete the transfer correctly
Once a bank transfer payment is received, you must manually record the payment in Pitchbooking to keep your Outstanding Payments report accurate.
Keeping Records Accurate
To maintain clear financial records:
Encourage users to pay via the provided payment link wherever possible
Manually log any offline payments, such as bank transfers, as soon as they’re received
