Setting Up Actions for Overdue Payments¶
Overdue Payments let you set what happens when an invoice remains unpaid after its due date: a reminder to the payer, a late fee, pass suspension or enrollment cancellation. Each action fires on its own day after the due date, so together they form a sequence of steps.
⚠️ The "Overdue Payments" menu item appears only when the corresponding module is enabled for the workspace and the staff member has permission to manage this section.
Steps¶
- Open "Billing" → "Overdue Payments" and click "Add Action".
- In the "Days After Due Date" field, specify on which day after the due date the action fires (from 1). "1" means the day after the due date.
- In the "Action" field, choose what happens on that day:
- "Send Reminder" — the payer receives a reminder email.
- "Add Late Fee" — a separate late fee invoice linked to the original one is created. Be sure to fill in "Amount" — how much the late fee charges. "Late Fee Due In (Days)" — how many days after the fee is created the payer has to pay it; a blank field means it is due immediately.
- "Suspend Passes" — the passes from the overdue invoice are suspended and the place in the plan is freed. To suspend only the passes of a specific plan, select it in the "Plan to Suspend" field; if the field is left blank, all passes from the overdue invoice are suspended.
- "Cancel Enrollment" — the invoice and its passes are cancelled and the place is freed.
- In the "Applies To" field, keep "Whole Workspace" or select a class, section or program. Actions set for a class, section or program override the Whole Workspace actions for their invoices.
- If needed, add a "Note" — an optional comment for the action. For a late fee, it is shown on the invoice.
- Click "Add Action" and make sure it appears in the list with the "Active" status.
- Check the result in the invoices: every day the platform reviews unpaid invoices, each action fires once per invoice, and a record of it appears in the invoice history. "Suspend Passes" and "Cancel Enrollment" do not apply to partially paid invoices.
Managing Actions¶
Steps¶
- In the list, click
in the action's row. - Select the action you need:
- "Edit" — opens the "Edit Step" dialog, where you can change the settings.
- "Details" — which invoices this step has already been applied to and what exactly happened.
- "Disable" / "Enable" — a disabled step no longer fires on any invoice, and the rest of the sequence keeps running.
- "Remove" — the step no longer fires. If it has already fired for at least one invoice, it is not removed but disabled instead, to keep the history of those invoices.
- For "Disable" and "Remove", confirm the action in the dialog with "Disable Step" or "Remove Step".
