The most important thing to remember when it comes to TravelJoy's two invoice types is that direct invoices pay you directly, while supplier invoices only collect credit card numbers so you can pay suppliers.
Supplier invoices
Supplier invoices are those used when booking travel on behalf of a client for various supplier charges. With this invoice type, the client's credit card will not be charged. Instead, the client will authorize a specific payment amount and securely provide their payment information to you.
From there, you will use that payment information to pay the supplier via their portal, website, phone number, etc. Alternately, you can choose to process that individual authorized payment as a direct payment to yourself.
Learn more about how to pay suppliers and record those payments in this guide.
Direct invoices
Direct invoices are used to process payments from your client's credit card or bank account. With this invoice type, the client is charged and funds are added to your trip or group's Funds balance. To see the fees and processing times for direct payments, check out this guide.
If you do not have the direct invoice option listed in TravelJoy, you must enter your bank account details by visiting Settings -> Bank Info. After submitting this info, you will be notified of your account status in approximately two business days.

Why do I have to upload a supplier invoice to transfer funds to my bank account?
Why do I need a suppliers invoice if the trip is set to direct invoice payment? What if I need to pay a supplier in person?
