This beta is now closed. Thank you to everyone for your time and feedback on this new enhancement. You can find the Coming Soon announcement here - keep your eyes out for the release note! 

Hi everyone 👋
I’m Laura, the PM for the Billing team.

Over the past few months, we’ve been working on several initiatives to improve ledger accuracy and reduce front-desk effort—specifically by cutting down the number of payments routed to unpaid items and deposits.

Before Christmas, we released default billing automation, which reduced payments/items routed to unpaid items from 60% to 10% 🎉. While this is a big improvement, we’d like to reduce this even further.

What we’re working on next

Currently, when payments or payment requests are added via the Payments tab, they’re routed to unpaid items. Our new approach requires users to select a bill when taking a payment, ensuring it’s organised correctly on the billing screen.

Users can select either owned or associated bills, making it quick and flexible—for example, charging a VCC on a guest profile while routing the payment directly to a company-owned bill when needed.

Want to help us test it?

We’re looking for customers who’d be happy to beta test this new feature and share feedback before full release.
If you’re interested, please let us know in the comments 🙌

📹 Short video overview  and further information about the feature.

Hi everyone 

Thanks for your support on the Beta so far, I am please to confirm that today we will be expanding the Beta to cover Payments also. Essentially in the same way you have been able to add a payment request to a bill, you will be able to select a bill when adding a payment and the payment will be added to that specific bill. Owned and associated bills can be selected so this is particularly useful in the scenario where you want to charge a specific customer for the payment but route the payment to a bill on a different profile.

I have recorded a short loom overview here.

We look forward to hearing our feedback!

Laura
