Payment requests

Request payments for samples, and other costs outside of the normal invoicing process.

If you need to charge a customer outside of the normal flow of an order (such as samples, unexpected fees, or tax adjustments) you can submit a payment request. This workflow makes it easy for your customer to pay the invoice directly through Lumi.

1 Agree on pricing

When a customer inquires about a sample, you can discuss the details in Messages. In addition to details about their desired sample(s), use messages to agree on pricing and get a shipping address.

2 Request payment

Request payment for samples by submitting this payment request form. An invoice will be sent to the customer within 2 business days.

You can track payments for samples with the rest of your payments in Stripe.

You can choose to wait for payment to start production.

3 Produce and ship sample(s)

After you've produced the sample(s), ship them to the customer's desired address. When you ship the sample(s), we recommend updating the customer via Messages and including a tracking link.
