Payments and financial flows

# Connect payments to _your revenue workflow._

Connect payment methods, the relevant invoices and financial tracking. Keep each sale and payment clearly identifiable.

[Explore the platform](https://billguard.fr/en/platform/) [Follow a payment example](https://billguard.fr/en/platform/payments/#demo-paiements)

## Connect payments to their context.

From payment to financial reporting, retain the references needed to identify the sale, invoice and funds received.

1.  01
    
    ### Collect
    
    Identify the method and payment request.
    
2.  02
    
    ### Process
    
    Track the relevant provider’s response.
    
3.  03
    
    ### Settle
    
    Identify the payment associated with the sale.
    
4.  04
    
    ### Reconcile
    
    Connect the payment to the invoice and account.
    
5.  05
    
    ### Track
    
    Retain exceptions and relevant actions.
    

## Understand and handle exceptions.

An error, a pending response or confirmation describes a specific state. References and actions remain visible so processing can continue.

### Pending

The result is not yet confirmed.

### Exception to review

Context lets teams compare the information received.

### Reconciliation

Confirmation is connected to the correct document and account.

## Each sale keeps its own tracking.

Explore a wholesaler-to-reseller sale, then a reseller-to-customer sale. Each keeps its own invoice and payment tracking.

Illustrative walkthrough

### Each sale keeps its own documents and flows.

Distribution is more than splitting a single payment.
