With an offline method, customers pay you directly and you mark the payment as received yourself.
Add a method
- Sign in to your brand admin. See Open your brand admin.
- In the menu, open System → Settings and click Set up offline payments.
- Under Offline payments (you confirm them yourself), click a suggestion under Popular in your country, or click Add another method.
- Choose the Type: Bank account, Mobile wallet or Other.
- Type the Name customers see, for example your bank's name.
- Under Payment details customers copy, fill in each detail, such as the account number. Click Add a detail for more.
- Optional: write Instructions for customers (optional), for example "Put your invoice number in the payment note."
- Tick Show this method to customers at checkout.
- Click Add method.
When a customer pays
- Your customer picks the method on their invoice, sends the money, clicks I’ve paid and gives their reference.
- Your team gets the email "A customer says they paid". Its Check the payment button opens Manual Payments.
- Check your account, then click Confirm and Confirm again. The invoice is marked paid and the service is set up.
- If you cannot find the money, click Reject, type a reason your customer will read, and click Reject payment. The invoice stays unpaid.
A method with no details filled in is not shown to customers.
This works once you go live. Until then checkout is a test and no payment request reaches you. See Go live.
Common problems
I can't find the Manual Payments screen
It is not in the menu. Use the button in the email or the bell, or go to brighthosting.com/admin/payments/manual (with your own brand's address).
