# Is PayID the same as a bank transfer?

## Understand how PayID works, why it is a bank transfer, and how to reconcile these payments in HUSL.

Some stylists assume that **PayID is a different payment method from a bank transfer**, but that's not the case. This misunderstanding can lead to payments being recorded incorrectly in HUSL.

We've noticed two common scenarios:

1. **Leaving carts open** because the payment hasn't been reconciled.
2. **Creating a custom offline payment called "PayID"**, even though it's not required.

Understanding how PayID works will help keep your payment records accurate.

**What is PayID?**

**PayID is simply an easier way to make a bank transfer.**

Instead of entering a BSB and account number, your client can transfer money using a PayID linked to your bank account, such as:

- A mobile number
- An email address
- An ABN (if registered)

The funds are still transferred directly from your client's bank account to yours.

**PayID = Bank Transfer**

The only difference is how the bank transfer is initiated.

**Do I need to create a custom offline payment called "PayID"?**

**No.** Because PayID is a bank transfer, **you do not need to create a custom offline payment method called "PayID"** in HUSL.

Simply record the payment using the existing **Bank** payment method.

Creating a separate "PayID" payment type can make your reporting inconsistent, as PayID payments should be recorded alongside your other bank transfers.

**👉🏼 How to reconcile a PayID payment in HUSL**

Once your client has paid via PayID:

1. Open the client's appointment in HUSL.
2. Open the cart.
3. Select **Checkout**.
4. If not adding any further Services, Warehouse (Dropship) or your own stock to the bill, then tap **Go To Bill**
5. Choose **Split/Other**
6. Choose **Bank** as the payment method \> **Save**
7. **Complete Payment**
8. **Reconcile Bank Transfer \> Accept payment**

The payment will now be recorded as a bank transfer and the cart is completed.

**Will my client be charged a fee?**

**No.** Selecting **Bank** when reconciling a PayID payment **does not charge your client any fees**.

You're simply recording that you've already received the payment via bank transfer. No additional transaction takes place.

Remember

- ✅ PayID is a bank transfer.
- ✅ Use **Bank** to record all PayID payments.
- ✅ You do **not** need to create a custom offline payment called "PayID".
- ✅ Always reconcile the payment to close the cart.
- ✅ Recording PayID payments as **Bank** keeps your reports and payment history accurate.
