Payment Manager

The Payment Manager is where you'll setup Payment Groups that can be scheduled and automated to send out Message Manager emails with links to Flex2 Payment Forms for unpaid orders in Tessitura. Additionally, you can use the quick send button to immediately deploy an email to provide a customer the form link for payment.

You can find the Payment Manager in the right hand menu.

Every organization may have different Payment Groups based on their needs and requirements.

In the sample below, there are 3 different Payment Groups.

1. Group Sales

   This is going out to tour operators to pay for unpaid group sales orders they placed over the phone.

2. Summer School

   This is going out to pay for an unpaid order of a teacher that created a reservation for a summer school event. The teacher can forward the link to a school executive to make the payment.

3. Subscription Renewal

   This is going out to season ticket subscribers to pay for unpaid subscription orders along with an optional add-on donation and/or a suggested donation amount.
