Online Payment vs Offline Payment

Open in ChatGPT

Boxify supports two payment methods: online payment (via a payment gateway) and offline payment (bank transfer). Knowing the difference helps you manage orders correctly.

Online payment (payment gateway)

Examples: Hitpay, Billplz

How it works:

1. The customer selects online payment at checkout.
2. The customer is redirected to the payment gateway page.
3. The customer completes payment.
4. The system automatically confirms the payment.
5. The order status changes to Paid.

Benefits:

• No manual confirmation needed
• Faster checkout for customers
• Lower risk of fake payment receipts
• Easier to scale your business

Offline payment (bank transfer)

How it works:

1. The customer transfers payment to your bank account.
2. The customer uploads their payment receipt.
3. You check your bank statement to confirm the transfer.
4. You manually reconcile the payment in the system.
5. The order status changes to Paid.

Caution

You need to do this manually for every order — check your bank statement, match the payment amount, and confirm in Boxify.
