Enable notifications of received payment and enter the address:

{Account name}.flowlu.com/external/rest/fin/paymentsystems/cp_pay

Enable notification of declined payment: and enter the address:

{Account name}.flowlu.com/external/rest/fin/paymentsystems/cp_fail

  • Choose the type of payer, depending on who you will issue the invoices to. There can only be contacts from CRM (individuals), only companies (legal entities) or both.
  • in the Sort column specify the numerical order in which the button will be displayed. The smaller the number, the higher in order the button of payment through this payment system will be displayed. It is relevant if you plan to use several payment systems.
