Payment automation
Automating the full payment lifecycle invoice generation, payment collection, reconciliation, dunning, and reporting. Replaces manual billing processes and eliminates the revenue leakage caused by forgotten follow-ups.
Expert insight
Payment automation needs to handle the full lifecycle of a transaction, not just the success case, a workflow built only for "payment succeeded" will mishandle refunds, disputes, and failed retries when they inevitably occur, each of which needs its own defined path, not a generic error handler.
In a real workflow
A paid Stripe invoice marks the order as paid, sends a receipt and records the payment in accounting.
Common mistakes
- Not handling refunds, disputes and partial payments.
- Moving money automatically without approval limits.
Complexity level
Anyone can understand this no technical background needed.
