**Platform:** WizOrder & WizPay      |      **Who is this for:** Admins & Sales Reps

**To Get There:** Sales **\>** Orders **\>** Open Order **\>** Collect Payment

#### Before You Begin

- Ensure you have the necessary access to collect or manage payments in WizCommerce.
- Have the customer's payment details ready before starting any payment flow.
- For refunds and pre-authorisations, access WizPay from the side navigation.
- No matter where you start, the *Orders, Customer, or WizPay tab*, the same [payment methods](https://knowledge.wizcommerce.com/payment-methods) (Card, ACH, Offline, and Payment Link) are available and each one works the same way.

**Note:** Payment Terms are not enabled for WizShop by default. If you want to enable Payment Terms for WizShop, please contact our [support team](https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/?fs=1&to=help@wizcommerce.com&tf=cm). This is a configuration setting and is not self-serve. 

---

### A. Where Can You Collect Payments?

Payments can be collected from three places in WizCommerce:

- **Orders tab:** Collect payment for a specific order directly from the order page
- **Customer tab:** Collect payment across multiple orders for the same customer in a single transaction
- **WizPay tab:** Access all payment transactions in one centralised location and collect payments without navigating through orders

---

### B. Collect Payment from the Orders Tab

1. Go to ***Sales → Orders*** and open the confirmed order.
   
   ![PW1](https://knowledge.wizcommerce.com/hs-fs/hubfs/PW1.png?width=670&height=382&name=PW1.png)
2. Click ***Collect Payment*** above the order summary.
   
   ![PW2](https://knowledge.wizcommerce.com/hs-fs/hubfs/PW2.png?width=670&height=365&name=PW2.png)
3. The total order amount auto-populates. Adjust the amount if you're collecting a partial payment.
4. Select your preferred payment method: Card, ACH, Offline, or Payment Link.
5. Complete the payment flow for your chosen method.

Once processed, the order status updates to **Paid** or **Partially Paid** depending on the amount collected.

---

### C. Collect Payment from the Customer Tab

Use this when a customer has multiple outstanding orders and you want to collect payment in a single transaction instead of processing each order separately.

1. Go to the ***Customers*** tab from the side navigation.
2. Click on the customer's name to open their profile. 
   
   ![PW3](https://knowledge.wizcommerce.com/hs-fs/hubfs/PW3.png?width=670&height=382&name=PW3.png)
3. Click ***Collect Payment*** in the customer profile. 
   
   ![PW4](https://knowledge.wizcommerce.com/hs-fs/hubfs/PW4.png?width=670&height=366&name=PW4.png)
4. Calculate the combined total across all outstanding orders and enter the amount manually. 
   
   ![PW5](https://knowledge.wizcommerce.com/hs-fs/hubfs/PW5.png?width=670&height=366&name=PW5.png)
5. Select your preferred payment method and complete the payment flow.

**Note:**

- From the **Customer** tab, you can collect a payment against a customer directly, no matching order is required.
- If you don't see the Collect Payment option in a customer's profile, reach out to our [support](https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/?fs=1&to=help@wizcommerce.com&tf=cm) (help@wizcommerce.com)

---

### D. Collect Payment from the WizPay Tab

1. Go to the ***WizPay*** tab from the side navigation.
2. Select ***Payments***. 
   
   ![PW6](https://knowledge.wizcommerce.com/hs-fs/hubfs/PW6.png?width=670&height=365&name=PW6.png)
3. Search for the customer by name or type it manually. 
   
   ![PW7](https://knowledge.wizcommerce.com/hs-fs/hubfs/PW7.png?width=670&height=366&name=PW7.png)
4. Select the customer from the results. 
   
   ![PW8](https://knowledge.wizcommerce.com/hs-fs/hubfs/PW8.png?width=670&height=366&name=PW8.png)
5. Follow the same [payment flow as collecting from the Orders tab](https://knowledge.wizcommerce.com/payment-workflows#Section-B).

---

### E. Collect Partial and Split Payments

WizCommerce lets you collect partial payments against an order — useful when collecting a deposit upfront with the balance due later.

1. Open the order and click ***Collect Payment***. 
   
   ![Screenshot 2026-06-03 at 9.02.06 PM](https://knowledge.wizcommerce.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202026-06-03%20at%209.02.06%20PM.png?width=670&height=364&name=Screenshot%202026-06-03%20at%209.02.06%20PM.png)
2. Adjust the ***Payment Amount*** to the partial amount you're collecting — for example, 50% of the order total.
   
   ![Screenshot 2026-06-03 at 9.03.13 PM-1](https://knowledge.wizcommerce.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202026-06-03%20at%209.03.13%20PM-1.png?width=670&height=363&name=Screenshot%202026-06-03%20at%209.03.13%20PM-1.png)
3. Fill in the additional information, such as invoice number, tracking number, and tracking link. Then select a payment method and click ***Charge***.
   
   ![Screenshot 2026-06-03 at 9.09.04 PM](https://knowledge.wizcommerce.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202026-06-03%20at%209.09.04%20PM.png?width=670&height=364&name=Screenshot%202026-06-03%20at%209.09.04%20PM.png)
4. Complete the payment flow. The order status updates to ***Partially Paid***. 
   
   ![PW9](https://knowledge.wizcommerce.com/hs-fs/hubfs/PW9.png?width=670&height=366&name=PW9.png)
5. When the remaining balance is due, repeat the process for the outstanding amount.

**Note:** Different payment methods can be used for each instalment — for example, ACH for the deposit and a credit card for the balance. Multiple payment links can also be sent for the same order at different times.

---

### F. Collect Payment Against Invoice

**You can also collect payment against an invoice created in your ERP.**

A payment is linked to an invoice only when **Payment Against Invoice** is enabled while collecting the payment. Entering the invoice number in the **Additional Info** field is for reference only and does not create this association.

**Best Practice:** If you want the invoice in WizOrder to accurately reflect the Paid and Due amounts in sync with your ERP, follow this process:

1. Authorize the **customer's card**.
2. Create the invoice in your **ERP for the associated order.**
3. Allow **WizOrder** to sync and **pull in the associated invoice**.
4. Once the invoice is available in WizOrder, click **Collect Payment**.
5. **Collect the Payment.**

Following this workflow ensures that the payment correctly links to the invoice, keeping the Paid and Due amounts accurate and consistent between your ERP and WizOrder.

---

### G. Issue a Refund

Refunds can only be processed through the WizPay tab.

1. Go to the ***WizPay*** tab from the side navigation. 
   
   ![PW11](https://knowledge.wizcommerce.com/hs-fs/hubfs/PW11.png?width=670&height=365&name=PW11.png)
2. Click ***Payments*** and select the ***Refund*** option. 
   
   ![PW12](https://knowledge.wizcommerce.com/hs-fs/hubfs/PW12.png?width=670&height=366&name=PW12.png)
3. Choose the customer from your customer list.
4. Select the order you want to issue a refund for and click ***Next***.
5. Choose the specific products you're refunding. The refund amount is calculated automatically based on the selected items. 
   
   ![PW13](https://knowledge.wizcommerce.com/hs-fs/hubfs/PW13.png?width=670&height=366&name=PW13.png)
6. Click ***Refund***.
7. Check **Send Email Notification** if you want to notify the customer.

The transaction status changes to **Refunded** in WizPay → Transactions.

![PW14](https://knowledge.wizcommerce.com/hs-fs/hubfs/PW14.png?width=670&height=365&name=PW14.png)

---

### H. Pre-Authorization

Pre-authorisation lets you reserve a specific amount on a customer's card without charging it immediately. The amount is captured when you're ready to collect.

1. Go to the ***WizPay*** tab from the side navigation. 
   
   ![PW15](https://knowledge.wizcommerce.com/hs-fs/hubfs/PW15.png?width=670&height=365&name=PW15.png)
2. Select the ***Pre-Authorize*** option. 
   
   ![PW16](https://knowledge.wizcommerce.com/hs-fs/hubfs/PW16.png?width=670&height=382&name=PW16.png)
3. Choose the customer you want to set a pre-authorisation for. 
   
   ![PW17](https://knowledge.wizcommerce.com/hs-fs/hubfs/PW17.png?width=670&height=366&name=PW17.png)
4. Enter the amount to pre-authorise against the total order value.
5. Map the amount to the customer's saved card. 
   
   ![PW18](https://knowledge.wizcommerce.com/hs-fs/hubfs/PW18.png?width=670&height=366&name=PW18.png)
6. Click ***Authorize***.

---

### I. Set Up Recurring Payments

Recurring payments automate regular payment collection — useful for subscription-based orders or agreed payment plans.

1. Go to the ***WizPay*** tab from the side navigation. 
   
   ![PW19](https://knowledge.wizcommerce.com/hs-fs/hubfs/PW19.png?width=670&height=365&name=PW19.png)
2. Select **Recurring Payments**. 
   
   ![PW20](https://knowledge.wizcommerce.com/hs-fs/hubfs/PW20.png?width=670&height=366&name=PW20.png)
3. Choose the customer from your customer list.
4. Fill in the following details: 
     - **Name:** A label for the recurring payment (e.g., "Monthly Restocking – Retail Living")
     - **Amount:** The payment amount per cycle
     - **Start Date:** When payments should begin
     - **End Date:** When payments should stop
     - **Frequency:** Choose from daily, weekly, biweekly, monthly, bimonthly, quarterly, semiannual, or annual
       
       ![PW21](https://knowledge.wizcommerce.com/hs-fs/hubfs/PW21.png?width=670&height=381&name=PW21.png)
5. Review the payment schedule and click ***Create***.

The customer receives an email confirming the recurring payment setup. Automated reminder emails are sent before each charge.

---

### J. Where Payments Appear

Once a payment is collected, it appears in three places:

- **WizPay → Transactions:** All transactions regardless of method — showing Transaction ID, payment type, amount, Order ID, customer, status, and date
- **Order Detail – Payments Section:** The full payment history for a specific order, including partial payments, the method used, and the running balance
- **Finix Dashboard:** Detailed settlement data including transaction fees, net amounts, and daily reconciliation

---

#### FAQs

**1. Can I use different payment methods for different instalments on the same order?**

**A.** Yes. Each partial payment can use a different method — for example, ACH for the deposit and a credit card for the balance. You can also send multiple payment links for the same order at different times.

**2. Where can I see all payments collected across all orders?**

**A.** Go to **WizPay → Transactions**. It shows all transactions regardless of payment method, including Transaction ID, payment type, amount, Order ID, customer, status, and date.

**3. Can I collect payment against an invoice?**

**A.** Yes, you can collect payment against an invoice, but a payment is linked to an invoice only when Payment Against Invoice is enabled while collecting the payment. Refer to [Section F](https://knowledge.wizcommerce.com/payment-workflows#section-f) for details.
