In the iVvy Venues software, it is possible to show offline payment options on your invoices including direct deposit details, BPAY, Cheque and Credit Card. Once these details are added to the setup of your venue they will appear at the bottom of every invoice generated. Additionally, it is possible to have multiple offline gateways that can apply specifically to bookings that are; accommodation only, event (or function) only or a combination of both in the case that you need to direct payment based on the event details.

Creating an Offline Gateway There are two ways to add a gateway to your iVvy venue depending on whether or not the details of the gateway can apply to multiple venues in your account. If you have one set of details that applies to several venues in your account you can add a Global Offline Gateway -
Navigate to Global Settings > Billing and Taxes > Payment Gateways -
Click Add Gateway > Offline. -
From here you will need to give your gateway a name and, using the other sections in this article, add the details for your offline payment options. Once complete click Save and follow the below to add your gateway to your venue.
To assign a venue-specific set of details or if you need to assign a global offline gateway to a venue -
View your Venue and navigate to Setup > Billing & Taxes > Payment Gateways. -
If you do not have a global gateway and need to add a new one simply click Add Gateway > New Gateway > Offline -

Accepting Credit Cards iVvy has the ability to add a credit card payment slip to the invoice, however due to changes in PCI compliance surrounding the storing of credit card information, it is strongly advised to not add credit card information to your invoice. We suggest using our PCI Compliant Online Pay Now Button that works with a range of online merchants. |
