I just onboarded my Troop to the new Payment Processing in Scoutbook Plus. The process went smooth and everything appears to be set up properly. I also verified that the payments log entries from Legacy Scoutbook are now properly reflected in Scoutbook Plus - thank you! However when I go to a Sco…

@TimothyGiorgi - are you referring to paypal or perhaps the feature assistant ?

Legacy Scoutbook used Paypal and you could make a payment of whatever you needed - which allowed for the balance to be paid. Scoutbook Plus uses Stripe instead. The payee account is not the issue. The issue is that you can only pay on the indivdual charges listed in the payment log and only pay t…

@TimothyGiorgi - in a case like that I would have them pay by cash or check to zero the balance. Are they gaining 100% of fundraising proceeds ? Really not a sound way to operate if they are as that could become a 1099 event as it is more than 30% substantial benefit to the scout.

While I appreciate your attempts to be helpful, what you are saying has nothing to do with what I brought up. you focused in on fundraising but I brought up many other instances of credits being applied to a payment log. This payment feature WORKED fine in Legacy ScoutBook but no longer does in Sco…

So you mean simply applying a payment to account vs apply to specific event? That has potential to be messy as it would take a second action in the future to apply Account total to various applied events to the account.

The current set up creates a pay button for each entry due to the unit. I would gather that they would have to allow a freeform payment option that would allow payment on total balance due.

Yeah it would be like taking a payment in Quickbooks and you apply to account - then later you have to go back and reconcile it to Invoices. Otherwise it might be $0 for the account but it would not be clean as you would have unpaid events for the scout.

I can ask about it - I have not played with the Payment log.

The ask would be to allow freeform payment as apparently paypal allowed

Couldn’t the family just get the stripe account for the unit and send a total, and then the unit figure it out in the current log?
