Payment Management

All payments are managed from the Transaction History tab of the main menu.

Transactions Log

Transaction History is where you will manage your payments, from transaction logs to payment history. The ‘Transaction Log’ page shows every payment request sent, and every payment attempted on a social media campaign. From here you can edit and delete your pending payment requests and active campaigns.

Edit an Active Payment Request or Campaign

Active payment requests, recurring payment plans, and campaign payment requests can be edited and cancelled. Editing an active payment request will trigger an additional payment request to be sent using the same payment link.

Step 1: Navigate to the Transaction Log page. Click the Hamburger Button located beside the Mobipaid Logo at the top left corner of the page. Select ‘Transaction History’ > ‘Transaction Log.’

Step 2: Find the payment request. Find the transaction you wish to edit, and click the three dots located in the ‘Actions’ column > ‘Edit.’

Tip: Utilize your reference number to signify as much information as possible per transaction. i.e. date, customer, product, etc.

Step 3: View or modify the payment. From here you can edit the details of the active payment request. When submitting your edits, your customer or donor will receive a new text message and/or email with the new details. The text message and/or email containing the original payment link will direct your customer or donor to the modified payment page.

Delete a Payment Request

Payment requests can easily be deleted from the ‘Transaction Log’ page.

Step 1: Navigate to the Transaction Log page. Click the Hamburger Button located beside the Mobipaid Logo at the top left corner of the page. Select ‘Transaction History’ > ‘Transaction Log.’

Payment History

The ‘Payment History’ page shows every attempted payment made on your payment requests and/or payment, and every payment attempted on a social media campaign. From here you can Reverse or Refund your successful payments, and view transaction details and error messages of successful and unsuccessful transactions.

Reverse/Refund a Payment Request

Completed payments can be reversed or refunded.

Step 1: Navigate to the Payment History page. Click the Hamburger Button located beside the Mobipaid Logo at the top left corner of the page. Select ‘Transaction History’ > ‘Payment History.’

Step 2: Find the payment you wish to reverse or refund.

Reverse: Within the first 24 hours of the payment, you will have the option to ‘Reverse’ the payment before it is completed. This cancels the transaction before the payment is removed from the customer or donor’s bank account.

Refund: After the payment has gone through and is no longer pending, you will have the option to ‘Refund’ the payment and have a charge placed on your account to reimburse the customer for their payment.

Please note that reversing or refunding a transaction will incur additional fees.

Export Payments to Quickbooks

Mobipaid allows you the ability to export your payment history to Quickbooks. When a payment is exported, it will create an invoice in Quickbooks and mark it as paid.

There are some common reasons for transactions to fail, relating to customer error, network or third-party processes, which are outside of Mobipaid’s control. Mobipaid monitors failed transactions which are not in our common error log. For any such failed transaction we will contact you directly regarding the payment attempt with questions or details for managing the payment.

There are some common reasons why a customer may be unable to submit a payment. The customer will have to notify you about the problem. These usually relate to customer error, network or third-party processes. A list of common reasons is included so that you can effectively respond to your customers.

Common Reasons for Failed Transactions
