Accept a payment from the customer

To activate the order, the customer pays the deposit and they can save their card details for future payments. You can enter the card details in the virtual terminal or send a payment link.

If you send the customer a payment link, when they open the link, it displays the following order details.

The customer clicks on Checkout and enters their card details in the payment iframe.

After the payment is approved, BillPro displays the payment successful screen.

Check the active order in BillPro

After the customer pays the deposit, the order has an Active status in BillPro. BillPro creates the billing events for the instalment payments, and you can display them in the Schedule Details section of the order summary.
