You can also raise standalone (ad-hoc) invoices, group invoices to charge many students at once, and run a bulk payout / remittance—an agent settling many partners, or a school paying many agents at once. You see live progress and a success/error summary. ## Overview When you're managing hundreds of payments, doing things one at a time isn't an option. **Bulk operations** let you act on many items in a single, tracked run. ## What you can do in bulk ### Create payment plans in bulk Set up payment plans for many students in one operation, instead of building them one by one. ### Send reminders Send payment reminders to many customers at once. ### Cancel payments Cancel a batch of payments. You **select a cancellation reason** that applies to all of them. ### Remove payments Delete a batch of payments when you don't need them on record. ### Shift or change due dates Move the due dates on many payments at once—useful when an intake date moves. ### Associate payments to an order item Link many payments to the right order item in one go, so they're recorded against the correct enrolment or service. ### Approve or reject transactions Approve (or reject) many transactions waiting for review together. ### Enable or disable payouts, and set tier or type Turn payouts on or off, and set the tier or type, across many partners at once. ### Raise a standalone (ad-hoc) invoice Raise an invoice that **isn't tied to a single payment**—handy for a one-off charge or fee. You don't need an existing payment to invoice someone. ### Group invoices to charge many students at once As an agent, **group several invoices into one** so you can charge many students together rather than sending each separately—handy for a partner with many line items. ### Bulk payout / remittance to many partners Create a **bulk payout / remittance** to settle many partners together. This also works the other way around: a school can pay many agents at once through a single bulk payout, instead of paying each agent individually. ## Running an operation Pick the action, **select the items**, and confirm. Qualy shows **live progress** ("Processing X of Y…") and a final summary: - **Completed successfully** (with a count), or - **Completed with errors** (showing how many succeeded and failed) **Cancel** keeps a payment on record (with a reason); **remove** deletes it. Choose cancel when you need an audit trail. Use a bulk **remittance** at the end of a settlement cycle to pay every partner in one operation, then keep the results summary as your record. ## Frequently asked questions ### What can bulk operations do? A lot. Create payment plans in bulk, send reminders, cancel payments (with a reason applied to all), remove payments, shift or change due dates, link payments to an order item, approve or reject transactions, and enable or disable payouts or set the tier/type across partners. You can also raise standalone (ad-hoc) invoices, group invoices to charge many students at once, and run a bulk payout / remittance. ### Do I have to give a reason when cancelling in bulk? Yes. When you cancel payments in bulk you select a cancellation reason that applies to all of them, keeping your records clean. ### What's the difference between cancelling and removing a payment? Cancelling marks a payment as cancelled (with a reason) but keeps it on record; removing deletes it. Choose based on whether you need an audit trail. ### What is a remittance? A bulk payout to partners—'new bulk payout / remittance'—so you can settle many partners together rather than one at a time. It works both directions: an agent can settle many partners, and a school can pay many agents at once through a single bulk payout. ### Can I raise an invoice that isn't tied to a payment? Yes. You can raise a standalone (ad-hoc) invoice—a one-off invoice that isn't linked to a single payment—when you need to charge for something on its own. ### Can I charge many students in one invoice? Yes. As an agent you can group several invoices into one to charge many students at once, rather than sending each separately—useful for a partner with many line items. ### Can a school pay many agents at once? Yes. A school can settle many agents together in a single bulk payout / remittance, instead of paying each agent one at a time. ### How do I know it worked? Bulk operations show live progress ('Processing X of Y') and a final summary—completed successfully, or completed with errors showing how many succeeded and failed. ## Prefer doing this via the Qualy API?
