Overview
Create orders, collect payments and follow them to completion
An order is a sale: it links a customer to the products they buy and sets how they pay.
For the complete documentation index, see llms.txt
How an order works
- Create the order. Choose the customer and products. The products' purchase type decides how the customer pays: once, in instalments, on a subscription, or by usage. See Create orders.
- Collect the first payment. Take it by phone, or send the customer a payment link. See Collect payments.
- BillPro collects the rest. For recurring orders, BillPro charges each scheduled payment on its date and retries declined ones. See Manage billing events.
- The order completes. When nothing more is due, or when you mark it complete.
Order statuses
Each order in the Orders list shows an icon for its status.
| Icon | Status | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Draft | Created, but no payment taken and no link sent yet. | |
| Pending | A payment link was sent. Waiting for the customer to pay. | |
| Rejected | The phone payment was declined. | |
| Active | Paid, and collecting its scheduled payments. | |
| Paused | A subscription on hold until it resumes. | |
| Failed | A payment was declined, but can be retried. | |
| Suspended | A payment was declined for good. The card needs updating. | |
| Review | An instalment order that collected more than its value. | |
| Complete | Nothing more is due. | |
| Cancelled | Cancelled before any payment. Nothing is collected. |
For the details of each status, see Order status.
