Bank transfer, without the back and forth

Card is instant and easy to track. Bank transfer is neither, and plenty of corporate clients will pay no other way. A signed confirmation with no money against it used to be ambiguous: was a transfer already in flight, or had the client wandered off? And “send me an invoice and I’ll pay the lot” needed a human, which stalls a payment for hours or a weekend.

Two honest options on the confirmation

Where you have payment instructions set, the confirmation page now gives bank transfer equal billing with card, and the client can tell you what they are doing:

• I’ll send the deposit. Records the promise and shows them exactly where to send it.
• I’ll pay in full, send me an invoice. Raises the event’s invoice, links it, and gets it to them.

Both card and transfer sit on the pay step with the same weight, so nobody has to hunt for the option they were always going to use.

The invoice sends itself

When a client raises an invoice that way, the new Invoice generated system email lands in their inbox with the PDF attached, so their accounts team has a file to work from without waiting on you. Like every system email, you can rewrite the wording, reset it, and switch it off, and it sends once per invoice, so a deposit and a later balance each email exactly once.

What you see

The confirmation picks up a badge telling you what to expect, and it is an information badge, not a green tick. A declaration is a promise, not money: nothing is marked paid, and the notification bell says what actually happened. When the transfer lands, the record-payment form is already prefilled with the declared amount and method, so reconciling it is one click.
