Configure the Purchase Flows

Overview

A purchase flow defines the way you bill users when they create a booking in the members portal (or by using the public calendar page) or purchase an item in the shop. Click here to learn more.

Note: If a product requires approval, it cannot be purchased directly before an admin confirms the request. That is why products and bookings that require approval will not follow the Purchase Flow rules. In such cases, the services must be approved and invoiced manually in order to be charged.

Step-By-Step Guide

1. Log into the OfficeRnD Flex Admin Portal.

3. Click on the cogwheel and choose Edit to configure the purchase flow.

4. The dialog that opens has the following purchase flow options. In addition, you can customize the name and rules for applying to members/custom properties.

• Generate an invoice for the purchase immediately - Specify if an invoice should be automatically generated after a successfully completed purchase.
• Ask the user to provide payment details - Specify if you want the user to provide their payment details upon purchasing a service from you. Note that this option would only work if you have enabled a payment integration. Learn how to enable one.
