Use Payment Gateways for Invoices
Your Sympl electronic invoices will automatically include buttons for "Pay with PayPal" or "Pay with Card", once a payment gateway is added.
Your guests will now be able to pay their invoices directly through PayPal or Stripe, and you’ll be notified whenever a payment is made.
Sympl will automatically update your invoices to "Paid" if the guest payment was successful.
You will also be able to see payment details at the bottom of the invoice.
All payments will come directly to you and the money will show in your PayPal or Stripe account instantly.
Use Payment Gateways for guests booked through Booking.com and Expedia
Sympl saves your guest's billing details from Booking.com and Expedia to your connected payment gateway.
When a guest enters their credit card details when making a booking on Booking.com and Expedia, Sympl saves this information into your gateway for future use.
For more info on using payment gateways for guests booked through Booking.com and Expedia, please see this Help Center article.
Checking for Invoice Payments
Once a guest's card is charged via Stripe, you can see the transaction in Sympl by going to Settings > Payments then by clicking on the Stripe account and scrolling to the transactions list below.
Here, you will see the details of the transactions and whether they were successful or not.
If a payment failed due to incorrect details, insufficient funds etc, you can then go to the guest inquiry, navigate to the invoice and click Send Now - this will allow them to pay by re-entering credit card details.
Your inquiry status will update to "Paid" once payment has been successful.
