How to use Wire Transfer as a payment method

Wire Transfer allows users to pay for membership packages or paid submissions manually by sending payment to the bank or payment details you provide.

Unlike PayPal or Stripe, Wire Transfer is not automatic. The user places the order, receives the payment instructions, and the admin must manually confirm the invoice after the payment is received.

How to enable Wire Transfer

To use Wire Transfer, you must first enable a paid submission system.

Go to:

Theme Options > Membership > Membership Settings

Then select one of the paid submission options:

• Select Per Listing if users must pay for each submitted property.
• Select Membership if users must buy a membership package.

Next, go to:

Theme Options > Membership > Wire Transfer

In this panel:

• Enable the Wire Transfer payment option.
• Add the payment instructions users must follow.
• Add the bank account, payment reference instructions, or any other details needed to complete the payment.

How to set the payment currency

Wire Transfer uses the currency selected for paid submissions or membership payments.

If the currency you want to use is not already available in the Currency For Paid Submission list, follow these steps:

1. Add the new currency.
2. Save the options.
3. Refresh the page.
4. Select the new currency from the list of currencies for paid submission.
5. Save the options again.

What users see on the frontend

On the frontend, users will see a Wire Transfer payment button next to the other enabled payment methods, such as PayPal or Stripe.

When the user clicks the Wire Transfer button, a modal opens with the wire transfer instructions added in Theme Options.

The user will also receive an email with the invoice number. This invoice number is the unique payment reference.

The user should include this invoice number in the bank transfer or payment details, so the admin can identify the payment correctly.

How admin activates the purchase

After the user sends the payment, the admin must check the bank or payment account and confirm the invoice manually.

To activate the purchase:

1. Go to the invoice created for the user.
2. Find the invoice using the invoice number received by the user by email.
3. Click Edit Invoice.
4. Mark the invoice as paid.

After the invoice is marked as paid, the purchase is activated for the user.

Wire Transfer for paid listings and membership packages

Wire Transfer works with both paid submission modes:

• Per Listing: the user pays for each submitted property. After the admin marks the invoice as paid, the property can be published.
• Membership: the user pays for a membership package. After the admin marks the invoice as paid, the package is activated for the user.

For membership packages, the package expiration follows the expiration settings configured for that membership package.

Wire Transfer email notifications

Emails connected to Wire Transfer can be managed from:

Theme Options > Email Management

You can edit the email text sent to users so they receive the correct instructions after choosing Wire Transfer as the payment method.
