You get paid the moment you release the invoice, instead\nof waiting for them to pay it.\n\nYou cannot turn Auto Pay on for a vendor. Each vendor turns it on themselves,\nfor each market separately.\n\n## See who has it on\n\nOpen **Vendors**. Each vendor shows whether Auto Pay is on. On a long list, use\nthe **Auto Pay** filter down the left to see only those who have it.\n\n## Charge everyone for an event day\n\n1. Open **Scheduler**.\n2. Right-click the day's column header and choose **Create All Invoices**.\n3. In the **Auto Pay** section, leave **Auto Charge** selected.\n4. Click **Create Invoices**.\n\nEvery vendor gets their invoice. The ones with Auto Pay are charged straight\naway; the rest have to pay theirs.\n\nThe dot on each booking tells you which is which — **green** means paid,\n**blue** means the invoice has gone out and you are waiting. Right-click a cell\nand choose **View Invoice** to see what happened.\n\n## Charge a single invoice\n\n1. Open **Invoices** and click **Add Invoice**.\n2. Build the invoice and save it.\n3. Open it again. If the vendor has Auto Pay, you are asked whether to charge\n   their card.\n4. Click **Charge**.\n\nA vendor without Auto Pay has no such option, and you wait for them to pay.\n\n!!! note \"Vendors turn it on, not you\"\n    If a vendor wants to be charged automatically, they enable it themselves\n    from their own applications list. Point them at the vendor article on\n    turning on Auto Pay."}
