Payments

Payments on Love Factory consist of users buying memberships for the features they offer like uploading more photos, adding more friends or creating groups.
To see how a simple payment looks like on the frontend go to Memberships on the user menu. There you can check out all the categories of the memberships along with the prices for them.
Click on a price to continue with the payment.

Next step is choosing the payment method. After you have done that, click Continue.

After the confirmation, you will be redirected to the payment gateway site to complete the payment.

The Orders page displays a history of all orders placed on your website.

In case a payment was made for one of the orders, select it and press on Mark as Paid. By using IPNs this happens automatically.\
Order status can be changed manually by the webmaster when the payment is made. Simply check one order and click on Mark as Completed or Mark as Failed.
Clicking on a payment title will display details regarding the membership bought with that order.

Various filters can be found here, based on the following: Membership, Gateway, Paid, Order Status.

The Payments page displays a list of all orders that have been processed by the gateway and with payments received by the webmaster.
Multiple details regarding each payment are available on this page such as the amount paid, payment date, user, order number, and more.

A Filter is available that helps you find payments made by a specific username.

The Invoices tab allows you to check the invoices for all the payments and gives you the option to export them as ".csv" files.

To modify the options for Invoices simply go to Settings and click on Invoices, there you will find 3 tabs.
In the first one you can enable or disable the Invoices and set a VAT (Value added tax) rate to them.

Next tab allows you to change the details for seller and buyer on the invoices.

The last tab allows you to edit the Invoice template.
