Payment Recording
LodgeKit supports multiple ways to record payments: manual entry for cash and bank transfers, or automatic recording via connected payment gateways (Stripe, PayPal, GoCardless). All payments are linked to invoices for accurate tracking.
Recording a Manual Payment
Go to Dashboard > Payments and click Record Payment (or use Quick Record for the fastest path). Select the invoice, enter the amount, choose the payment method (cash, bank transfer, cheque, other), and set the date. Click Save to record it. The invoice status updates automatically.
Partial Payments
Guests can pay in instalments. When recording a payment for less than the invoice total, LodgeKit tracks the remaining balance. The invoice stays as "Partially Paid" until the full amount is received.
Processing Refunds
To refund a payment, open it from the payments list and click Refund. Enter the refund amount (full or partial) and reason. If the original payment was via Stripe, the refund is processed automatically through Stripe. For manual payments, record the refund and process it outside LodgeKit.
