|---|---|

| Billing methods | One of the three billing methods is available for each payment method: Free / None, Manual & PayPal |
| Explanation | The declaration serves an internal purpose and does not appear on any invoice. |
| Invoice text | An invoice text can be stored for a payment method. The invoice text is displayed on the generated invoice, depending on the payment method used for the event. |
| Show transfer destination as text on invoice | |
| Display QR code for SEPA bank transfer on invoice | Display QR code directly on invoices to simplify the payment process. The QR codes contain all the necessary payment information so that they can be read by standard banking apps. This saves time and minimises errors when entering payment data manually. The QR code scanning functionality is supported by many banking apps. A QR code is automatically generated on invoices based on the invoice data (recipient, IBAN, amount, purpose). The invoice data must be specified on the seller's side under the seller's account information. |
| Attachment | Add a PDF document that is additionally attached to the invoice using the corresponding payment method. |
| PDF attachment configuration | This is a complicated tool with which the configuration can easily be violated. Please only make adjustments here after consultation with us. |
| Always selectable | This corresponds to the definition of a mandatory payment method to ensure that a valid payment method is always available. If visible, this must be selected in the event form. A good combination for this is the definition as "selected by default". |
| Selected by default | If this option is active, the corresponding payment method is already preselected when a new event is created in the event form (Admin). |
| Always show | If the payment method is visible and the "Always display" option is selected, this payment method is displayed (inactive) in the payment process even if it is not available for this event. |
| Minimum amount and maximum amount | Set limits for the payment method. In the event form (Admin), the price for the corresponding payment method can only be saved within this limit. |
| Payment information | Request additional information during the order process. Payment information must first be created under Ordering system > Payment information in order to be able to select these as input fields for a payment method. If input fields must be completed during the order process, the option Mandatory field must be ticked, otherwise the information is optional. |
