circle-check

The Invoice payments feature allows Operators to pay invoices directly inside Hub88's Operator Backoffice, either in decentralized payments or with a bank transfer. This eliminates the need for manual communication of payment details, streamlining the payment process and reducing the potential for errors.

To use invoice payments, Operators must:

  • Be logged into the Operator Backoffice.

  • Have a valid invoice issued by Hub88 starting from January 2025.

  • Have valid resources for both digital currency and fiat payments.

Invoices created before January 2025 and unpaid will display an "Approved" status, indicating they are in a pre-payment approval stage.

Hub88 supports two different types of payments: Direct digital currency payment and Direct fiat payment.

Payment process

The payments process is a part of the Invoices area in Operator Backoffice. Under Invoices tab, you can view aggregated and detailed overviews of all invoices issued by brand in three different stages: paid, unpaid and partially paid.

  • Paid invoice: Indicates a fully paid invoice that is resolved.

  • Unpaid invoice: Indicates an invoice with no payments related to it.

  • Partially paid invoice: Indicates that a payment (of any sum) has been made in relation to the invoice. Partial payment status for an Invoice

    • If a payment larger than the credited sum is made, the invoice will be marked as paid, and the excess sum will be credited toward your next invoice as a prepayment.

Fees and charges

Additional fees may apply depending on the selected payment method, licence, and your user type. These fees are displayed on the invoice payment screen after the payment option is selected. Please review the fees before proceeding with the payment. The most common fee is for digital currency payments, where a currency conversion fee of 1.6% is applied. Additionally, different banks and financial institutions may apply their own fees for third-party transactions outside Hub88. Please ensure you are aware of your service provider's fees before making any transactions.


Transaction confirmations

Transaction confirmations are subject to the selected payment method:

  • For digital currency payments, the confirmation time depends on the blockchain (BTC, ETH, USDT).

  • For bank transfers, confirmation is completed once Hub88’s finance team verifies the payment, which can take 3–5 business days.


Transaction notifications

You will receive email notifications regarding the status of the invoices:

  • New Invoice: Triggered when the finance team completes reconciliation.

  • Invoice Paid: Triggered when the invoice status changes to “paid” — the invoice has been fully paid.

  • (Partial) Payment Received: Triggered when a partial payment is received.


Handling failed payments

If a payment fails, check the following:

  • For digital currency payments: Ensure the correct amount was sent to the correct wallet address. Missing or incorrect details will result in a failed payment.

  • For bank transfers: Ensure the payment details (IBAN, amount, and reference number) were correctly entered.

In the case of a failure, the operator should review the payment details and contact their account manager or customer support. There is no automatic retry feature for failed payments.


Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with payments:

  • Verify that the payment details (digital currency wallet address or IBAN and reference number) are correct.

  • Ensure you are using a supported digital currency (BTC, ETH, USDT) and network

    • BTC — Bitcoin Network,

    • ETH — Ethereum main net

    • USDT — TRC20

  • If the payment has not been confirmed within the expected time frame, check the blockchain status or contact Hub88 support/account manager for assistance.

To ensure the security of your transactions:

  • Only make payments from official Hub88 Operator Backoffice domains.

  • Carefully verify the payment details (digital currency wallet address or IBAN) before making a payment.
