How Payment Types Are Used
When recording a payment against an invoice or booking:
You can select one of the available payment types to specify how the client paid.
The payment type is displayed on the invoice and reflected in financial reports.
This ensures consistency in reporting and helps with accounting reconciliation.
Important Notes
System fields like Stripe cannot be deleted, as they are tied to Event Temple’s built-in payment integrations.
Payment types apply globally across invoices and are visible in the organization’s payment records.
You can filter and report on payments by type for accurate revenue tracking.
