Getting paid through PayPal

PactPal does not hold money. Your buyer pays you through PayPal, straight to your own PayPal account, one invoice for each agreed stage.

#Invoices for each stage

The signed agreement sets the stages (for example: a deposit, a payment when the sketch is approved, a final payment). When a payment step comes up on the timeline, choose Send invoice. The amount and due date come from the signed agreement, and the agreement's fingerprint is in the invoice's note.

Invoices go through your own PayPal app, which you link in Settings (getting started).

#When your buyer pays

PayPal tells PactPal when an invoice is paid. The payment step is marked done, the payment is recorded in the evidence log and the next step can start. If a notification is slow, Check payment status on the deal asks PayPal directly.

A late payment shows on the timeline and holds up the steps after it. PactPal reminds your buyer before it is due and when it is overdue.

PactPal currently runs in test mode. No real money moves.
