Vinosmith Payments are displayed in a couple different places within Vinosmith. 

You will receive an email notification when a payment is created.

When a Trade Customer creates a payment and that payment is in-progress that pending payment is captured under the Payments tab of the individual Invoice under the Pending Payments sub-tab.

Additionally, these pending payments are visible in your A/R system under the Payments: Pending/Failed tab. To view this screen click on the Orders tab, then A/R: Manage in the left.

Once a Payment is captured and applied that payment is under the Accounts Receivable: Payments: Applied tab.

 

What does an in-progress payment mean?

A payment with status in-progress means the payment has been authorized by the payments processor. 

For a payment made via credit card, it means the funds are available and you will receive the funds according to the payout timeline.

A payment made via ACH / bank account has less of a guarantee. The funds can still be rejected from the payers bank account if they have insufficient funds, or, if during bank account entry they mis-typed the banking details.

So said another way:

  • a payment made via credit card is safe to assume is valid and can be treated as good as being handed cash
  • a payment made via ACH / bank account can still fail. Assuming the payer acted in good faith and knowingly submitted the payment with knowledge they had sufficient funds then safe to assume it will go through. But it is possible to still fail.
