Payment Requests

Summary

A Payment Request is a request to remit payment from your Client for services rendered, and is how you get paid by the HonestHosting platform. You can bill for one-time products (Search Engine Optimization, website redesign, etc.) or recurring items like web hosting. Payment Requests use Products and Prices you have previously created in your Reseller or Agency property.

You will be unable to create any Products, Prices, or Payment Requests until you complete the Stripe Onboarding chapter.

Create Request

Payment Requests are sent to Property owners. You can manage Properties when creating new Payment Requests.

To create and send a new Payment Request to a property owner, log in and browse to the Stripe -> Requests tab and click the + icon button:

This will bring up a new dialog to create a Payment Request. NOTE: You must select a Property here to create a Payment Request. If you have not created a Property, click on the + icon button to the right of the Property selection box to add a new one:

Fill out the information required for the Property, and save your changes.

A new Property will be created, and auto-selected in your Create Payment Request dialog:

For this example, we will be creating a one-time Payment Request for Search Engine Optimization product. Select the Type, and fill out the information for the request:

  • Type - Either One-Time or Recurring.
  • Product - The Product + Price you are associating with the request.
  • Quantity - The quantity the client is purchasing, typically 1.

Once you have the information filled out, click on the + icon to add them to the request:

When specifying a One Time payment request, you may add up to 10 individual product/prices to the payment request. For Recurring payments, you may add a SINGLE product/price to the payment request.

Once saved, you can send an email directly to the Property owner or copy the payment URL to your clipboard and send it to them directly to request payment.
