Charge your customers with Paypal, Stripe, Authorize.net, SEPA, GoCardless, Netcash, or another supported payment system.

Splynx has a powerful billing engine. You can issue Recurring Invoices and send them to your customers or charge customers with Prepay Mode.

Recurring invoicing

Invoices can be issued in advance or in Postpay Mode. One month in advance means that 1st of May Splynx will generate invoices for 1-31 of May. Postpay means that Splynx generates invoices on May 1st for a period of April 1st-30rd.

When the invoice is generated there are several methods how to process the customer’s payment:

1. Direct debit order

When the invoices are generated, you can export all or some of them to the Direct debit orders. It is available under the button “Charge” in the Finance module of Splynx.

Direct debit order

Direct debit orders can be sent via Splynx module API to these payment gateways: Paypal, Braintree, Authorize.net, Stripe.com. You can also charge your customers’ IBAN bank accounts using SEPA XML and the GoCardless platform.

2. Bank statement processing

If customers pay their bills using bank transfers, Splynx can handle these files and process them.

Bank statement processing

Then the invoice is marked as paid, the payment transaction is created and the customer’s balance becomes “0”. Because of the different formats of the files in banks, we always create a custom handler (PHP script) that processes our customer’s bank file.

Bank files can be imported manually to Splynx using the Bank processing menu, or Splynx can connect to email or bank API and grab files every day or several times per day.

3. Cash payments

Cashdesk is a Splynx module for processing payments.

Cash payments

Administrators can create users of Cashdesk and provide them access to the module. The user is not able to change and view any customer’s data, except his name/Company name, Invoice Numbers, and actual Balance.

The Cashdesk can be used by accountants, who don’t have to get access to Splynx but only process the incoming payments. It can be also used by resellers. The reseller will only see his customers and will be able to enter payments to Splynx when he receives money from customers.

Other types, manual processing

If none of the above payment methods fits you, there is always an option to add a payment manually in Splynx or mark the invoice as paid. It will create a credit transaction in Splynx and also it will add the payment to the customer’s balance.

Prepaid billing

Prepaid billing is used when ISP charges customer in advance and provide them access for a certain period of time. When the balance of the customer reaches the set limit, he is disconnected.

With a combination of self-registration features, customers in the ISP network can register themselves on ISP’s website, order services, and pay online for the selected period of time. They can pay via credit cards using Paypal, Braintree, or Authorize.net platforms. Braintree even supports Apple Pay, Android Pay, and Bitcoins.
