Customer billing and payment processing

This workflow automatically generates and processes customer bills for marina services, handling payment collection, failed payment recovery, and invoice delivery. It streamlines the billing cycle from reservation completion to payment confirmation, reducing manual work and improving cash flow.

Step-by-Step Breakdown

Detailed explanation of each automated stage in the workflow.

  1. 1
    Trigger

    Reservation Period Ends

    The system detects that a customer's slip rental period has concluded or additional services have been completed. This triggers the automated billing process to calculate charges.

  2. 2
    Action

    Calculate Total Charges

    The system compiles all charges including slip fees, utilities, fuel, pump-out services, and any additional amenities used during the stay. It applies applicable taxes and discounts to generate the final amount.

  3. 3
    Action

    Generate and Send Invoice

    An itemized invoice is automatically created with all service details and sent to the customer via email. The invoice includes payment options and due date information.

  4. 4
    Action

    Process Payment Attempt

    The system automatically charges the customer's saved payment method or processes online payments. Payment status is tracked and recorded in the customer's account.

  5. 5
    Decision

    Check Payment Status

    The workflow evaluates whether the payment was successful or failed. Based on the result, it either completes the process or initiates recovery procedures.

  6. 6
    Action

    Handle Payment Recovery

    For failed payments, the system sends automated reminder emails, attempts alternative payment methods, and escalates to manual collection if needed. Successful payments proceed to confirmation.
