Nonprofit invoice software for the bills that do not fit a checkout: a hall rental, a sponsorship, a damage deposit. Email the invoice, let people pay it online, and let Communal send the overdue reminders.
Card or bank debit from the link
Pick a member, a guest, or an organization, add the lines, set a due date, and send it. The email links to a page where they pay by card, or by bank debit (pre-authorized debit in Canada, ACH in the US) where your account supports it. When the money arrives, the invoice is marked paid and the payer gets a receipt.
Nobody writes the follow-up email
Turn on overdue reminders in your settings and Communal emails anyone with an unpaid invoice the day after it falls due, then once a week until it is paid, for up to 90 days. Every reminder links back to the pay page. You can turn reminders off for a single invoice, or send one by hand when a phone call has not worked.
Open balances in one filtered list
The invoice list shows where each one stands: draft, sent, partially paid, overdue, or paid. Search it, filter by status or the date it was sent, and export it to CSV for your bookkeeper. Cheques, cash, and e-transfers you receive can be recorded against the invoice, so the list matches the bank.
Open Invoices in the admin, pick the member, guest, or organization, and add line items from your products or bookable spaces with a quantity and price. Set the due date and send it. The recipient gets an email with a link to view and pay the invoice online.
Yes. The invoice email links to a pay page that takes cards, plus Canadian pre-authorized debit or US ACH bank payments where your Stripe account supports them. The payment is recorded on the invoice and the payer gets a receipt. You can also record a cheque or e-transfer against the invoice yourself.
It is one setting. With overdue reminders on, Communal emails the recipient the day after an invoice falls due and then weekly until it is paid, stopping after 90 days. Each reminder has the pay link. You can switch reminders off for a particular invoice or send one manually from the invoice page.
Yes. Enter the booking or booking request on a new invoice and Communal fills in the space, hours, and price. Add a damage deposit as its own line. Bookings paid in full at checkout get their invoice automatically. More on facility rental software.
Yes. Set up a payment schedule, such as a deposit now and the balance next month, and the payer pays each instalment from the same link. With reminders on, they get an email the day before each instalment is due.
The invoice list shows each invoice's status, including draft, sent, partially paid, overdue, and paid. Filter by status or by the date it was sent, then export the list to CSV for your bookkeeper or treasurer.
