Ban Man Pro 11 and higher supports a billing
and invoicing system along with real-time processing of
credit card payments. Real-time processing is highly
recommended over manually processing so that credit card
numbers do not get stored in the Ban Man Pro database.
The credit card is processed in real-time by the 3rd party
and is never stored on the server.

click Billing then Invoice Setup.

the Advertiser and check the box " Disable
Option for Advertiser to view and Pay Invoices".
Minimum Invoice Amount --

campaign will be invoiced. Enter 0 to invoice all campaigns
no matter how small the amount. For example, if selecting

accumulated 100 clicks at $.25 per click, the campaign will
not be invoiced since the total has not yet reached $50.

Where do I setup tax rates?
To setup tax rates, click Billing then Tax Rate Setup.
Country Taxes
Enter any country taxes that should be applied based on
the user's country. If US State taxes or Canadian Province
taxes apply, then leave this section set to 0's and move
down to the State/Province taxes section.
Tax rates must be entered as a decimal. For
example, .06 would be 6%. .075 would be 7.5%.
State/Province taxes
These tax rates override
country rates. So if you have a country VAT tax and
state/province tax include them both in this number and
enter 0 for the Country tax above.
Tax rates must be entered as a decimal. For example, .06
would be 6%. .075 would be 7.5%.
How do I
make an advertiser tax exempt?
To make a specific
advertiser tax exampt, edit the advertiser and check the box
called "Tax
Exempt for billing purposes" found near the bottom in
the Other Information section.

Creating
Invoices
To create an invoice click Billing then
Create Invoice.

Use this option to create an invoice for campaigns that
meet the minimum invoicing amounts. Please note that if an
advertiser is being invoiced for multiple campaigns they
will all appear on the same invoice rather than creating an
invoice for each individual campaign.
Minimum Amount per Campaign -- This minimum
is used to choose a minimum amount for each individual
campaign that must be met in order to include it in the
invoice. Select 0 to include campaigns of any amount.
Minimum Invoice Amount -- Select the
minimum total that must be met to include this invoice. For
example, selecting $50 will only include invoices that sum
to $50 or more.
After clicking Next >>,
you will be presented with a list of all advertisers with
Invoice-Able campaigns. You can deselect those you do not
wish to include. You can also de-select individual invoice
items. Please note the amounts
shown do not include taxes. Taxes (if necessary) will be
applied as the invoice is created.
Once you have made any selection
changes, click Create Invoices to create the invoices.

Once the invoices have been
created, you can click View Invoices then use the Print or
Email columns to email the invoices or print them. The date
filter can be used at the top to filter them by date to only
show those from "today".

Paying
Invoices
To pay an invoice, click Billing/Pay
Invoice.
Supported payment types include: Check, Cash and Credit
Cards. Credit cards can be entered and processed in
real-time provided you have defined a payment gateway under
Online Orders/ Online Order Setup. Partial payments are
supported in which case an invoice remains marked as unpaid
with a partial balance.

Note: Processing
through a gateway is highly recommended in order to comply
with
Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard
(PCI DSS. When using a
3rd party gateway credit card numbers are not stored in your
SQL Server database. |
