Send invoices to your guests

This article will show you how to send an invoice to your guest and request payment for a booking through ROLLER Venue Manager. 

Issue an invoice

Once a booking is created, you will notice the amount owing displayed under the Owing section:

1. Click New Invoice on the top right. A pop-up modal will appear, where you can adjust the following settings:
   • The applicable payment methods so that it appears on the invoice to the customer, eg cash, credit card, cheque. If nothing is checked, the customer cannot see the payment options. 
   • The payment required. You can set it to the full amount or a deposit (a dollar amount).
   • The payment due date.
     
     
2. Click Continue once you are happy with the selection. A new pop up will appear, showing the Send Payment Invoice pop up. From here there is the ability to edit, add or omit details in all text fields. Note that changing the text here will only change the text for this email only. If you want to adjust the text for all invoice emails, you can do so through our Template Studio functionality:
   
   • Email address. While the default email is the booking holder's email address, you can edit it and send it to someone else
   • Email subject
   • Email body text which provides more information including payment methods
     
     
     
3. Click Send Email to send the email and invoice to the customer.
