How do I add my banking details for bank transfer/ EFT Payments in Bookem?

Bookem supports a variety of payment methods, including EFT (electronic funds transfer) or direct bank transfer. To get paid this way, you’ll need to add your banking details so clients can see them on your invoices.

How to add your banking details

To add your bank account details for EFT or bank transfers:

  • Go to Settings > Payments & Invoicing > Payment methods

  • Click + New payment method in the top right corner

  • Choose Bank transfer as the payment method

  • Toggle Display on invoice to ON so your details appear on client invoices

  • Fill in your bank details and payment instructions under the Payment instructions section

  • Click Create

Your banking information will now automatically appear on all invoices and statements. These details can also be pulled into automated messages sent to clients using the #Payment link variable.

What to do when clients pay via EFT

Because Bookem doesn’t have access to your bank account, EFT payments won’t be automatically marked as paid.

To make sure payments are properly tracked:

  • Wait until the funds reflect in your bank account

  • Go to the invoice and manually mark it as paid in Bookem

Sending payment receipts to clients

To make sure your clients receive a receipt after payment:

  • Once you’ve received the payment, manually record it in Bookem

  • Bookem will prompt you to send a payment receipt to your client
