When you create an invoice, Paynote will send an email to your customer with a link to a hosted payment page. The customer is then required to confirm their payment details and manually complete the payment. This method is ideal if you want to give customers the opportunity to review their charges before making payment.

An invoice is an alternative to an on-demand debit, providing a more traditional approach to billing. When you create an invoice, Paynote will send an email to your customer with a link to a hosted payment page. The customer is then required to confirm their payment details and manually complete the payment. This method is ideal if you want to give customers the opportunity to review their charges before making payment.
In contrast, an on-demand debit directly debits a customer's connected bank account without requiring additional customer action. For on-demand charges, a verified funding source is required to initiate the debit, and Paynote automatically processes the payment without needing the customer to confirm or approve the transaction at the time of billing.
This makes invoices a suitable option for businesses that prefer to allow their customers to manually review and authorize payments, while on-demand debits are faster, with payments being automatically processed.
