🔄 What happens when you switch workflows?

👉 Switching from Auto Collect → On Demand:

  • We instantly send a distribution email to your customer

  • This email includes:

    • A PDF version of the invoice

    • A secure one-time payment link where they can pay via:

      • Card

      • Google Pay

      • Apple Pay

      • Pay by Bank

👉 Switching from On Demand → Auto Collect:

  • If a direct debit mandate is already active:

    • We send the invoice with a direct debit notice

    • The customer is notified that payment will be taken automatically

  • If no mandate is active:

    • We send an email prompting the customer to set up a direct debit mandate

    • The email includes the invoice as a PDF attachment

    • Once the mandate is signed, we’ll handle the collection automatically
