      Invoice - Payment types

      💳 Managing Payment Types in SabeeApp

       

      In SabeeApp, you can manage all available payment methods for your property from the Settings → Invoice → Payment types menu. This allows you to customize which payment options appear when registering payments manually or automatically.

      There are two categories of payment types you can manage:

      đŸ§Ÿ Default Payment Types

      These are the standard payment options that automatically appear in the Payment type dropdown when:

      • Adding a payment manually on the reservation page (Payment section)
      • Creating a new payment on an invoice
      • Registering a payment via the Quick order

      Key things to know:

      • Default types cannot be modified:
        • No toggle switch (on/off)
        • Their order is fixed
      • These are system-level options and are always available.
      • SZÉP Card: Visible only for Hungarian providers (if your company country is set to Hungary).
      • SabeePay: Always visible, regardless of whether the SabeePay module is enabled.

      ➕ Additional Payment Types

      These are customizable payment methods that you can turn on or off at any time.

      💡 Remember to click the "Save" button after making changes to the list!

      Behaviour:

      • By default, all are turned off.
      • Once activated, they appear in the Payment type dropdown across:
        • Manual payments in the reservation page
        • Invoice payments
        • Quick order payments
      • If deactivated, they are removed from the dropdown—but past payments using them will remain intact.

      Example:

      If you activate PayPal, it will appear in the dropdown list alongside default options.

      If you deactivate it later, PayPal will no longer be available for new payments, but existing PayPal payments will still be visible in reports.

      🌐 Integration with IBE (Internet Booking Engine)

      • PayPal and Paystack can also be enabled for guest payments via the IBE:
        • If activated under Distribution → IBE → Payments, they will be automatically activated in the Payment types menu.
        • If deactivated there, they will be automatically turned off here as well.
      • However, changes made directly in the Payment types menu do not affect their status in the IBE settings.

      🔁 This is a one-way sync from the IBE settings to the Payment types list.

      🧼 Payment Types in Filters & Reports

      Your selected payment types also influence filters in various menus:

      • The Payment type filter in PMS → Invoices
      • The Payment type filter in the Transaction Report

      How filters work:

      • Default payment types are always shown in filters.
      • Additional payment types will appear if:
        • They are currently activated (toggle is green), or
        • There are existing payments saved with that type—even if it’s now deactivated.

      ✅ Summary

      • Manage all payment methods under Settings → Invoice → Payment types.
      • Default types are fixed and always available.
      • Additional types can be toggled on/off—just don’t forget to save your changes.
      • Activations affect what’s available during payment registration and in system filters.
      • PayPal and Paystack have unique behavior when used with the IBE—changes there sync back here, but not the other way around.
