To make it easier for your customer to know what the description is and who it is from, you can follow these steps:
- Log into your PencilPay account.
- Go to Settings -> Invoices & Collections.
- Scroll down to the bottom of the page to "Credit Card/Bank Statement Description".
- Here you can set the description that you wish to be shown on your customers' bank statement for payments processed through the Pencil Platform. This description has two parts: Trading name prefix (prefix) and last digits of Invoice number (digits) - "{prefix} {digits}". E.g: ADev V-Jan22-00025
- There are some limits to the number of characters:
- Credit Card (maximum of 18 characters)
- Direct Debit (maximum of 13 characters)
- Click Save to update. All payments processed through PencilPay from the time you Save these settings will show with the newly updated descriptor.
