You can collect invoice payments using Wave in two ways: by sending an invoice for online payment or by manually charging your customer's credit card.
Good to know
- International payments: You can accept invoice payments from credit cards issued outside your business's country. The cardholder's bank will complete payment in the invoice currency, and handle any currency conversion.
- Bank payments: Your customer must make a bank payment after an invoice is sent. You cannot manually process a bank payment for them.
