| Handling the payment in your company fileWhen a customer makes a payment, the details will automatically be entered into your Essentials file, and the invoice will be closed off. We'll also send you an email with a detailed break down of the payments. Note that the individual payments you receive will be recorded as unmatched, and you'll receive a daily lump sum deposit for your online payments. For example, say you receive three online payments on Monday. The payment details of each transaction will be listed as unmatched. MYOB will deposit the total of the three payments overnight into your bank account as one lump sum. So on Tuesday, you would match the deposited transaction that will appear on your bank feed and bank statements. For more information see our Matching bank transactions topic. |

| title | Why has the "Pay now" button disappeared from my invoices? |
|---|
| If your customers have told you they can no longer see the Pay now button in their online invoices, it might be related to some recent communications we sent about completing some additional business verification requirements for online invoice payments. If you didn't provide the required information, your online invoice payment service may have been terminated. If you want to continue providing your customers the means to pay you online, you'll need to reapply for online invoice payments. For all the details see Online invoice payments termination. |
