As an admin, you can allow users to pay their invoices either through the Optix mobile app (or your white labeled app) or via an invoice email link in a web browser. Here’s how each option works and what you need to set up.

Option 1: Users pay in the mobile app

Users can pay invoices directly from the Optix app. To support a user in paying their invoice in-app:

  1. Ensure you have a payment gateway connected

  2. Confirm the user has access to the app

  3. Users can follow these steps:

    • Open the Menu from the bottom navigation bar

    • Tap Invoices

    • Select an invoice to pay

    • On iOS: Tap Choose Payment Method

      On Android: Tap the Payment icon

    • Select or add a payment method

    • Tap Confirm Payment

Note: Manual payment is only required if auto-pay is disabled or a payment attempt fails.


Option 2: Users pay via invoice email (web)

You can also enable users to pay invoices via an email link without the app. To enable this:

  1. Go to Settings > Invoices > Invoice Communication and ensure automated invoice emails are turned on

  2. Alternatively, manually send an invoice using the Send button on an invoice

  3. When users receive the invoice email, they’ll:

    • Click View Invoice

    • Then click Pay Now to complete the payment

Important: This option only works if you've set up Stripe Checkout.


Troubleshooting Tips

  • Opening in admin view? If you (or another admin) click the invoice link while logged into your admin dashboard, it will open in admin mode. To preview the user view:

    • Copy the invoice link

    • Open it in an incognito/private browser window

  • Invoice status shows “processing”? This happens when a user clicks Pay Now but doesn’t complete the payment. The invoice will stay in a “processing” state for 30 minutes before reverting.
