How an invoice appears
- One-time purchase. The invoice is created when the buyer clicks the payment button on the checkout page.
- Installment and subscription. A separate invoice is created for each scheduled payment when its date comes or when the student makes the payment early.

Opens the payment list filtered by this buyer. The Back button returns you to the user card if you opened the invoice from there.Invoice payment link
You can send the link from the invoice card to the buyer, for example if they did not finish paying. The link opens the invoice page, where the buyer chooses a payment method and pays.- An invoice has no expiration date: the link works as long as the invoice is active.
- The invoice amount is fixed when it is created. If you changed the tariff price, the old link still has the old amount.
- An installment or subscription invoice can be paid only while the installment plan or subscription is active. If it was canceled, the buyer sees Invoice cannot be paid and a hint to resume the installment plan or subscription first.
- When a student sets up an installment plan or subscription for the course again, the unpaid invoices of the previous schedule are canceled.
You can’t create an invoice manually in Payments. To ask a student to pay, send them the tariff payment link: you can copy it with the Copy payment link button in the course tariff settings.
Notifications about new payments
When an invoice is paid, staff with the School sales permission receive the New payment for products notification with the course and tariff names, as well as an email.Refunds
Refunds are not processed in the school interface. To return money to a buyer, contact Exode support — a hint in the invoice card reminds you of this too. When the refund is complete, Exode revokes the access granted by this invoice: it removes the buyer from the tariff’s group and returns access to its state before the purchase. The buyer and school staff each receive a Refund completed notification.Frequently asked questions

The student says they paid, but the list shows “Awaiting payment”. What should I do?
Exode has not yet received confirmation from the provider. Open the invoice and look at the Attempts tab. If the payment went through on the provider’s side, check that the notification link from the cash register settings is set in the provider’s account. See Payment acceptance for details.
Why does one invoice have several attempts?
Why does one invoice have several attempts?
The buyer started paying several times: for example, they first chose one provider, then another, or clicked Retry after the bank declined. All attempts are saved in the invoice, and unfinished ones are canceled when a new one starts.
Why is the invoice “Unsuccessful” even though the student got access?
Why is the invoice “Unsuccessful” even though the student got access?
Most likely, the student paid with a different invoice — for example, they went back to the tariff page and made the purchase again. Find all of the student’s payments with the All payments button in the invoice card.
