Payment vs matched transaction, what's the difference ?

Payments

A payment in Pennylane refers to an invoice that was paid using Pennylane's means of payment :

  • With Qonto
  • With the payment link set up in the invoice
  • With Gocardless
  • With Stripe

In this case, the invoice is automatically matched to the payment.

Matched transaction

In case the payment happens outside of Pennylane (for instance by bank transfer), the user can match the transaction with the invoice, either on Pennylane's app, or using the API (see this guide).

In this case, the invoice is matched manually.
