Switch payment made from one invoice to another.

Problem Statement

This article helps you understand switch payment made from one invoice to another..

Solution

Summary

If the merchant or the customer has paid an incorrect subscription, instead of another service/product, then you can Remove the Payments from the paid invoice under Payments and Credits which will be added to Excess Payments. Then, you can transfer the excess payments to the Payment Due invoice by using the Apply Payments on the invoice.

Solution

Eg: For instance, a customer has Company A and Company B subscriptions/products/services/companies. The subscription Company A was incorrectly charged (from Checkout/Chargebee portal) instead of Company B on which the payments should be transferred from Company A to Company B.

Here is how!

image

Step 1: Open the incorrectly charged invoice from Subscription > Invoices> Incorrectly paid Invoice. Scroll down to 'Payments and Credits'' then click on the

image
ellipsis button on the right-hand corner and choose 'Remove'.

image

You will get a notification that this amount will be added to excess payments. On clicking 'Confirm' this transaction amount will be moved to Excess payments.

image

Also the 'Paid' invoice will be moved to 'Not Paid' invoice.

You should also see the 'Excess Payments' under Customer Account.

Then, the 'Payment Due' invoice will be updated as 'Paid'.
