Practical CRM Gem guidance

Payments

Record payments, configure instructions, and understand customer PayPal invoice availability.

Overview

Follow this guide from top to bottom for a complete workflow, or choose a specific topic from the list.

Record a manual payment

Select Record Payment from an invoice or Payments, then enter the received amount, method, date, and available notes.

Add payment instructions

Open Settings and add the bank transfer or manual payment information that customers should see.

Configure customer PayPal payments

Use the customer payment settings in CRM Gem. This is separate from the CRM Gem Pro subscription.

Supported PayPal currencies

PayPal payment availability depends on the invoice currency. PayPal supports selected currencies and does not automatically convert unsupported CRM Gem invoice currencies.

LKR and unsupported currencies

LKR is not supported for CRM Gem PayPal Checkout. A usable PayPal option should not appear. The customer can use another payment method shown on the invoice.

When PayPal is unavailable

Tell the customer: “PayPal is not available for this invoice currency. Please use one of the other payment methods provided by the business.” Record the payment manually after receiving it.

  2. 2

    Check the invoice currency

    Only expect PayPal Checkout when the invoice uses a supported currency.

  3. 3

    Offer an alternative

    For LKR or another unsupported currency, use Bank Transfer / Manual Payment or invoice in a PayPal-supported currency.

  4. 4

    Record receipt

    After receiving an external payment, select Record Payment in CRM Gem.
