How to create a cash or offline payment order in Dumpster Controls

The "Cash" payment option covers every manual payment method: cash, Zelle, check, bank transfer, and more. These orders carry zero processing fees on every plan.

1. Start a new order

   Click "Create New Order" and fill in the order details.

2. Choose "Cash"

   Select "Cash" in the payment section. A note confirms that cash, Zelle, check, and other manual payment orders are 100% free on all plans, with zero processing fees.

3. Send the invoice

   Review the "Invoice Preview" and click "Confirm & Send". The customer receives the invoice for their records, without an online payment button.

4. Record the payment when it arrives

   When the customer pays you outside the platform, open the order and use "Mark as Paid" to record the payment method, reference number, and optional proof.

What happens next

• The order stays unpaid in the app until you record the payment with "Mark as Paid".
