Payment integration
The PayTabs integration lets customers pay your Invoice Crowd invoices on the PayTabs hosted checkout page. Invoice Crowd verifies the provider response before recording the payment.
From setup to paid
Connection, customer checkout and final settlement are separate stages. Read the status and limitations before showing the method on a live invoice.
Each business profile has its own account and live or test mode.
Profile ID, write-only server key, optional client key, a PayTabs Regional API chosen from an approved list and Live/Test mode.
PayTabs controls eligible merchant regions, which regional APIs are available, currencies and fees.
The payment option only shows when it can be used for that invoice.
The hosted flow saves a permanent record of each attempt, uses only approved regional APIs, checks the signature on PayTabs' callback and asks PayTabs directly before accepting a payment as authorized.
Invoice Crowd does not provide automatic PayTabs subscription setup or callback-based subscription mutation.
An invoice is marked paid only when the provider confirms it.
Callback HMAC, authenticated payment query, exact profile/account, allocation, amount, currency and authorized state.
Only the verified hosted one-time flow is active. A posted status or automatic subscription callback cannot settle an invoice.
Integration facts
The fields below describe the current Invoice Crowd path; the provider remains the source for merchant eligibility, fees and regional availability.
Active hosted checkout
The hosted flow saves a permanent record of each attempt, uses only approved regional APIs, checks the signature on PayTabs' callback and asks PayTabs directly before accepting a payment as authorized.
Invoice Crowd does not provide automatic PayTabs subscription setup or callback-based subscription mutation.

Callback HMAC, authenticated payment query, exact profile/account, allocation, amount, currency and authorized state.
PayTabs controls eligible merchant regions, which regional APIs are available, currencies and fees.
Only the verified hosted one-time flow is active. A posted status or automatic subscription callback cannot settle an invoice.
Amount, currency and allocation are derived from the current server-side invoice state.
If a confirmed PayTabs payment can't be applied to its invoice, for example because the balance changed after checkout started, Invoice Crowd holds it in Payments Needing Review. You then apply it to the invoice, keep it as customer credit, or refund it.
Invoice Crowd does not send PayTabs refunds itself. Make the refund in your PayTabs account, then record it with Refund on the invoice in Invoice Crowd, so the invoice and your books match.
Gateway fees, exchange costs and settlement timing come from the merchant agreement, not the Invoice Crowd subscription.
Configure another active provider when this gateway does not support the merchant, customer, currency or collection model.

Not through PayTabs directly. Invoice Crowd sends refunds through the provider only for Stripe, PayPal, Razorpay, Square, Braintree, Authorize.net, Airwallex and GoCardless. For PayTabs, make the refund in your PayTabs account, then record it with Refund on the invoice in Invoice Crowd, so the invoice, its credit note and your books stay in step.
Start with sandbox or test mode where the provider offers it, verify the exact currency and payment result, then plan production activation.
