Why Integrate Odoo with Online Payment Gateways?
The main goal is to automate the payment collection process, make it easier for customers to pay, and connect issued invoices in Odoo directly with online payment systems so that businesses can:
- Collect payments electronically
- Track payment status (Paid, Partial, Unpaid)
- Automatically reconcile invoices
- Minimize manual data entry errors
How Does the Integration Work?
- An invoice is generated in Odoo and sent to the customer with a payment link.
- The customer clicks the link and is redirected to the payment gateway (e.g., STC Pay, PayTabs).
-
Once the payment is made:
- Payment is confirmed automatically in Odoo
- The invoice status is updated to "Paid"
- The transaction is recorded in the accounting module
