Creating a Payment Group with Payment Transactions

If you are making use of Curve's Payments functionality, you will be able to organise all Payments that are to be made in a Payment Group. A Payment Group will hold all the pending payment transactions, ready for you to approve them and pay these via our integration.

There are three ways in which you can create a Payment Group and subsequent Payments.

Creating your Payment Group

By enabling Auto-Payments in your Contracts - If at least one Contract in your Period has the Auto-Payment functionality enabled and has a payable balance (i.e. the balance is higher than the Minimum Payout threshold), then a Payment Group holding these Auto-Payments will automatically be created.
If you reprocess the Period which results in changes to the balances of your payable Contracts, the amount of unpaid payment prompts will automatically be updated to the new amount. However, as soon as at least one payment in a payment group has been fully approved and paid, you will no longer be able to reprocess the linked Period. So please only start approving payments once you are confident your Period is complete.
By triggering a Payment in a Statement - Alternatively, you can manually trigger a statement’s closing balance to be created as a payment. All payments that are triggered within the same Period on Curve will automatically be created as part of the same Payment Group.
If you reprocess the Period which results in changes to the balances of your payable Contracts, Curve will not automatically update the payable amount of previously triggered pending payment transactions. However, you can create an additional payment prompt that will cover the difference between the new balance and the initial payment prompt.
By manually creating a Payment Group and manually creating Payments - A final option is to create the entire Payment Group and all of its Payments manually. The payments will be created loose from any Periods, Contracts or Statements on Curve.

Reviewing your Payment Group

When creating a Payment Group, the Payments in this Group will have one of the below two statuses

Missing Info - This means that the Payee for which this Payment is does not have valid bank details stored. In this event, please make sure Payment Details are added for this Payee.
Pending - This means your Payment is ready to be paid, and Curve has all the necessary information to be able to complete this transaction.
