If a client does not want to pay via direct debit, you can still manage them through Rechargly and keep everything centralised. You have two options:

  1. Use Manual payments for that customer

    • From the Agreement page, set the customer to Manual payments.

    • Rechargly will create all future invoices in Xero for that customer.

    • Xero will then send the invoice directly to the client so they can pay using their normal method (bank transfer, card, etc.).

    • You can still see and manage the customer, invoices and status inside Rechargly.

  2. Let the client pay the Xero invoice manually

    • Rechargly creates the invoice and pushes it to Xero as usual.

    • The client receives the Xero invoice and makes payment manually.

    • Once Xero shows the invoice as paid, Rechargly will detect this and mark it as Paid outside Platform.

    • Payment status syncs approximately twice per day, so updates are not instant.
