Invoicing students and renters

Block time, ground-school packages, a renter's monthly tally — wherever money is owed, the platform can bill it with a real invoice instead of a Venmo request. Here's the flow.

1. 1

   Create it from the contact

   Open the student's contact (or the Invoices section) and create an invoice: line items for what they're buying, taxes if applicable, a discount if you're feeling generous. Send it by text and email — they pay by card from the link, no terminal needed.

2. 2

   Deposits and partial payments

   For bigger tickets — a private-pilot package, a block of dual time — you don't have to bill it all at once. Set a deposit amount or split the invoice into scheduled partial payments, and the platform collects each piece on its date.

3. 3

   Monthly programs on recurring invoices

   Flying clubs, monthly membership programs, financing-style pay-as-you-go — a recurring invoice generates and sends itself on schedule, and you track what's paid and what's outstanding from the invoice list.

4. 4

   Everything reconciles in one place

   Paid, partial, overdue — the invoice list shows it, and each payment attaches to the contact's record. At tax time or when a student asks 'didn't I already pay that?', the answer is one search away.

5. 5

   Getting paid needs a processor

   Invoices and payment links charge cards through a connected payment processor, which we set up during onboarding. If a payment ever fails to go through, call us before re-sending — it's usually a processor setting, not the customer.
