    How to consolidate invoices into one payment in Dumpster Controls

    For customers with several unpaid invoices, the Customers page can combine them into a single consolidated invoice with one payment link, so the customer pays everything at once.

    Before you start

    • A customer with 2 or more unpaid invoices.
    1. 1

      Open the customer

      Go to "Customers" and expand the customer. When they have consolidatable invoices, a button like "Consolidate 3 unpaid" appears, and the expanded view invites you to select 2 or more unpaid invoices to consolidate them into a single payment.

    2. 2

      Select the invoices

      Check the unpaid invoices you want to combine and click "Consolidate into Super Invoice".

    3. 3

      Review the "Consolidate Invoices" modal

      It lists each invoice with its taxes, fuel surcharges, and fees, and shows the "Total to charge". Toggle "Company absorbs card processing fee" if you want to cover the card fee yourself; by default the customer pays it on top of the total.

    4. 4

      Create it

      Click "Create & Send to Customer" to email and text the consolidated invoice immediately, or "Create & Copy Link" to just get the link.

    5. 5

      Optionally charge or print

      On the confirmation screen you can "Charge Card on File" to bill the saved card for the full amount, copy the "Invoice Link", or use "View / Print PDF".

    What happens next

    • The customer sees one invoice page with the full breakdown and a single Pay button.
    • If the customer pays one of the included invoices individually, it is automatically removed from the consolidated charge and the link recalculates.
    • Each underlying order keeps its own profit and loss, payout, and accounting records.

    Troubleshooting

    An invoice cannot be selected.

    Invoices already included in another consolidated invoice show "Already in another consolidated invoice" and cannot be selected twice.
