The pay button will redirect you to the regular credit card processor page, where you need to insert your payment card details and press Confirm button. The payment status will be displayed on the next page that you will be redirected to. After that, you will be able to go back to the Vidict Admin Panel.

PAY INVOICE WITH VIDICT PAYMENT SYSTEM (VPS) CREDIT

Vidict Payment System (VPS) credit is an available amount of money added to your account via Vidict Payment System, available through the Add credit option in your Account. If there is an available amount, you are able to use this option. You can change the amount that you wish to pay in the input field and then click the Pay button. The Pay button will redirect you back to the Invoices page.

PAY INVOICE WITH OTHER CREDIT

Other credit is an available amount of money added via some other payment system.

You can change the amount that you wish to pay in the input field and then click the Pay button. The Pay button will redirect you back to the Invoices page.

Note: If there is a gray shaded section, this means that you are not able to use that option, either because you do not have a credit, or the invoice is previously paid with different payment system.
