Transactions page
Admin guide to charges, payments, refunds, credits, filters, and summary cards.
The Transactions page is where staff record and review money movement for customers. It lists all transaction types in one place and provides shortcuts to create new records.
Summary cards
Four cards at the top mirror the transaction types:
| Card | What it reflects |
|---|---|
| Charges | Amount invoiced or owed by customers in the selected period |
| Payments | Money collected against charges |
| Refunds | Money returned after payment |
| Credits | Customer balance credits issued or applied |
Each card may show change versus the previous period. Use the period pills to switch the range (for example this week, this month, or a custom range).
Transaction types
ServEase uses four internal transaction types on this page:
Charges
Charges are internal records of what a customer owes.
When adding a charge (Add charge on the Charges card or from the list):
- Select the customer (required)
- Optionally link a booking
- Enter amount; pick currency when no booking is linked (currency may come from the booking when one is selected)
- Optionally apply a discount code
- Optionally add tax
- Add notes (optional)
- When accounting integrations are enabled, you can choose to issue an accounting document (for example invoice or proforma)
Payments
Payments record money received against a charge.
When adding a payment:
- Select the customer (required)
- Select the charge to pay (required in the current workflow — a payment is always tied to a charge)
- Choose the payment gateway (cash, transfer, cheque, Stripe, PayPal, etc.)
- Enter the amount — currency comes from the linked charge
- Add notes (optional)
- When accounting is enabled, you can issue an accounting document for the payment
Refunds
Refunds return money against a customer payment.
When adding a refund:
- Select the customer (required)
- Select the payment to refund (required)
- Enter the refund amount (full or partial, up to the remaining refundable balance)
- Currency comes from the payment
- Enter a reason (required)
- Add notes (optional)
- Optionally issue an automatic credit so the customer balance stays intact
- When accounting is enabled, you can issue a credit note document
Credits
Credits increase a customer's account balance (for example goodwill or compensation).
When adding a credit:
- Select the customer (required)
- Enter amount and currency (or inherit currency from a linked refund)
- Optionally link a refund
- Select a reason (for example customer satisfaction)
- Add notes (optional)
Transaction list
Below the summary cards, the table lists all transactions with pagination.
Filters
Open filters to narrow the list:
- Search — free-text lookup
- Customer — one customer
- Type — charge, payment, refund, or credit
- Amount — minimum and maximum
- Date range — created between dates
Pending payments
Payments in progress (pending gateway payments) are hidden by default. Enable Show pending payments to include them in the list.
What this page does not do
- There is no manual capture or void flow on this page — charges and payments are created directly.
- Gateway-specific reconciliation details may appear in payment provider dashboards as well.
