Online Invoices offer advanced options for your agency to accept payments. Unlike regular invoices, with Sion’s online invoices, you can set up a payment gateway to directly accept payments from clients and suppliers. You can even set up options for suppliers to submit edits to statements for booking changes or cancellations when you enable Live Statements for your online invoices.
Online invoices are set up and associated with an IATA number. You can only create and change online invoices for IATA numbers that you own. If you are using another agency's IATA number for your bookings, you will be unable to change their host invoice settings.
Note: Sion’s online invoices are different from regular invoices. Regular invoices do not have the option for online payments. The invoice email templates for clients and suppliers will apply to all types of invoices when they are sent.
There are several steps for setting up live statements in Sion:
Integrate an online payment gateway to Sion - Set up Flywire to receive online payments on your invoices.
