If the service provider (e.g., a photographer) has accepted the possibility of being paid by invoice, this option will be available at the time of payment for the order.
When you choose invoice as your payment method, you will receive a summary of the services to be invoiced before confirming the order:
The order will be added to the invoice only after you have accepted the service provider's delivery. In other words, if the service order is canceled before it has been executed, that service will not be itemized on the invoice.
The service provider can also invoice their services on a consolidated invoice. The service provider can define the consolidation billing period from the following options: 1 day, 2 days, 3 days, a week, two weeks, or monthly.
Depending on the service provider's consolidated billing settings, you will later receive a (consolidated) invoice by email. The invoice will itemize the services to be billed, and you can pay the invoice by clicking on Pay Immediately, which directs you to Stripe's payment service used by Linear to complete the payment.
NOTE: Payment of the invoice is made through Stripe, hence the invoice does not display reference numbers or account numbers.
After this, you will see a screen in Stripe where you can:
- View the invoice breakdown again by clicking View invoice and payment details
- Choose payment method as SEPA or Card Payment (Card). Fill in either the account number or card details from which the payment will be made.
NOTE: SEPA payments require a direct debit agreement with the bank. If SEPA payment is not possible, we recommend contacting your corporate bank to ensure that the direct debit agreement is in place and SEPA payments are accepted.
SEPA payments may be slow depending on the bank. It may take several banking days for the payment to appear on the bank account (and to receive the receipt).
After the payment, you will receive a receipt for the paid invoice by email, which you could forward to, for example, your accountant. The managing personnel of the brokerage firm, who have the necessary rights, could also mark an additional email address in Company Settings to which the receipt is automatically sent:
