Monthly Bills
Who does this: The officer team and/or dedicated volunteers
Cadence: Once a month, preferably on the first of the month
We have a kiosk at the honor bars where members can run up a tab. Once a month we use a custom plug-in to send bills for Tabs over $5. This is how:
- Login to the website (as an administrator)
- Go to the Dashboard
- Go to the Ace Honor Bar Plugin Menu
- Choose Dashboard from that sub menu
- Click “Generate Invoice” for the tabs you want to bill
- On the order generated choose “Pending Payment” as the order Status
- Under Order Actions choose “send invoice…”
- Click Update – This will email the bill to the member
Troubleshooting Monthly Bills
Who does this: The officer team and/or dedicated volunteers
Cadence: As needed, at least once a month
Every so often you will run into errors with orders. Some of these are known issues with workarounds, and others are new and fun bugs. When in doubt, make a bug report in Asana.
- Problem: Order in “On Hold” section will not let you update the order status
- Solution: This is an honor bar plugin glitch. Check the items in the order for any items with a quantity of -1. Remove the items with quantity of -1 and add items manually to replace them with the correct quantity. If it still won’t let you update the order status, kick it up the chain for troubleshooting.
- Problem: User tries to update an expired card on file using My Account>Payment Methods>Add Payment Method and receives an error that will not let them remove the expired card because it is “linked to an automatic subscription.”
- Solution: Ask the user to follow these steps instead:
-
-
1. Login to your account.2. Navigate to My account → My Subscriptions3. Click on Change payment.4. Select Use a new payment method, fill the credit card details and click on the Change payment method button.

Monthly Billing – MonsterCorps
Out of Date: this process has been replaced by a custom WordPress Plugin.
- Sort the IOU slips by person. Match to any existing unbilled IOU slips. Bill all people who have $5 or more in IOUs. Set aside all the other items for the next billing cycle.
- Discard tickets or coupons that are ripped or damaged. Return clean tickets to Ace for reuse.
- In the billing system of the Ace main website (WooCommerce – Store Manager or Admin role is required for this task), choose “Add Order”.
- Scroll down to the section titled “Order #______ details” and select the member to be billed in “Customer” drop-down menu.
- Scroll beyond the billing and shipping addresses and click “Add item(s)” in the next section, then “Add product(s)”. Add all of the products from that person’s IOUs.
- Scroll up to the “Order actions” section and choose “Email invoice…”, then click the create button.
