How it works
Instead of reading the below guide, you can opt for a short walkthrough:
Credit Card Hold (Guarantee)
a. In the FL3XX Sales module, select "Credit Card Hold" in the Payment Guarantee.
b. Type in the desired amount. Currency is auto-selected based on the quote currency.
c. Press "Initiate hold" button.
4. A Stripe link is generated and auto-copied to the clipboard.
5. You can either send the link to the buyer (via FL3XX, email, Whatsapp...) or you can execute the hold on behalf of your customer.
6. Once the hold is executed:
1. You're notified in FL3XX instantly (see 1 in the screenshot below)
2. A notification message is generated (see 2)
3. You can open the notification message (see 3)
4. The holding period is auto-set to the maximum default of 7 days from the moment of placing the hold (see 4)
7. You can release (cancel) the hold manually by pressing the button "Release Hold"
8. You can capture the held amount by pressing the button "Capture Hold".
Credit Card Payment
a. With invoice (1), FL3XX auto-sends a payment link (2).
b. Upon receiving the email with the invoice, the buyer can press the button and settle the invoice amount by card.
c. Protip: To get the same payment link and execute the payment on behalf of your buyer, send it to yourself or Bcc yourself.
- Once the payment is executed, you're notified instantly.
