What is "Paid outside YOGO"?
Has a customer paid you directly instead of through YOGO? Then you can use "Paid outside YOGO" to register the payment in the system.
This covers things like:
- Bank transfer ๐ฆ
- MobilePay to your own number ๐ฑ
- Vipps, Swish or SEPA direct debit ๐ณ
- Cash ๐ต
- Any other payment method you've received yourself โ
YOGO marks the invoice as paid without charging the customer's card. Everything the invoice was meant to trigger goes through, like an active membership or an installment on a class series.
Where do I find it?
The "Mark as paid outside YOGO" button shows up wherever there's an unpaid invoice:
- Membership renewals, when an automatic charge has failed ๐
- Dunning fees on memberships ๐ฉ
- Class series installments ๐
- Event installments ๐
- Regular orders in the Invoices report ๐งพ
How to do it
On a membership
- Go to the customer's profile
- Click the membership in question
- Find the unpaid invoice line, e.g. "Unpaid renewal invoice" or "Dunning fees"
- Click "Mark as paid outside YOGO"
- Fill in the dialog and confirm
On an order
- Go to the Invoices report
- Find the order and click the arrow to expand it
- Click "Mark as paid outside YOGO"
- Fill in the dialog and confirm
What you need to fill in
| Field | Requirement | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Payment method | Required | Choose between bank transfer, MobilePay, cash, other etc. |
| Payment date | Required | The date you received the money. It can't be in the future |
| Payment reference | Optional | Free text, e.g. a bank reference or MobilePay transaction ID. It's printed on the customer's invoice PDF |
Note: If your company is registered in Germany and you use a fiscal POS register, you can't choose cash. Accounting rules require cash payments to be registered through the register.
What happens when I confirm?
- The invoice is marked as paid with the date and payment method you chose โ
- If it's a renewal, the membership is extended and the customer stops receiving reminders ๐
- The customer gets access again, including Kisi door access if it was locked because of the membership ๐ช
- If it's an installment on a class series or event, the installment is marked as paid ๐
- YOGO stops trying to charge the card for that invoice ๐
- The action is logged on the membership, so you can always see who marked the invoice as paid, and how ๐
Note: The customer doesn't automatically get a receipt, since the payment happened outside YOGO. If they need one, you can send the invoice manually.
Using our accounting integration?
If you've connected YOGO to e.g. Billy, e-conomic or Dinero, YOGO automatically sends both the sale and the payment to your accounting system when you mark the invoice as paid. So there's nothing extra for you to book.
Can I undo it?
No. Once an invoice has been marked as paid, it can't be reversed. If you've marked it by mistake, you can issue a credit note from the Invoices report on the same order instead, so the sale is reversed.

FAQ
The customer paid by bank transfer. Should I use this feature?
Yes. Choose "Bank transfer", add the date and the bank reference if you have it, and confirm.
Can I use it on old invoices?
Yes, as long as the invoice is still unpaid. You can set the payment date back to the day the money came in, but not forward.
What if the membership has already been cancelled due to non-payment?
Contact support and we'll help you reactivate the membership and mark the invoice as paid.
How do I give the customer a receipt?
Open the invoice in the Invoices report and download the PDF, or send it straight from the order.
Does it work the same way for memberships and class series installments?
Yes. Same dialog, same logic. You just open it from the relevant place in admin.
๐ก Tip: Let YOGO handle payments for you
When customers pay directly in YOGO, it all happens automatically: the card is charged, the membership renews and the customer gets their receipt. No more keeping an eye on incoming payments or marking invoices by hand. Haven't set up the accounting integration yet? We'd be happy to help you get started.
