Wellbeing Hubs: How to send invoices to Kara Connect

This article explains how and when to invoice your sessions to Kara Connect.

Please Note: If you are reading this article, it means that a member of our Kara Connect Customer Success Team mentioned to you that any invoices paid by credits will be paid by Kara Connect.

There are other payment types. To learn about other types of payments, please see here.

Please note: for any payment options outside from Sponsored Credits / Subsidised Credits, it is the Professional's responsibility to organise payment with your clients.

Kara Connect is not responsible for any overdue payments outside sponsored credits.

To learn more about how to recognise Sponsored Credits and Non Sponsored credits you can check out this article.

Wellbeing Hub sessions paid through employee credits

If you are joining or have joined any of our Wellbeing Hubs, you will have clients whose sessions are covered by what we call Credits. These credits are subsidised by the employers that partner with Kara Connect.

Each employee has a limited number of credits that they can use with professional/s of their choice through their Wellbeing Hub. 

 

Clients using Wellbeing Hub credits: When a client books a session using a subsidised/sponsored available credit, please note the following to see if a session was booked by a "Sponsored Credit" or Not.

1-Check within your Calendar:

In your calendar view "Sessions" (as per the GIF below), you will see that the client's session is covered by a Wellbeing Hub credit.

2-Check After your call has ended (Session Completed): Once the session is completed, you will see the payment summary screen under Payment method: "Credit".

To complete the payment and mark the invoice as paid all you need to do is click Confirm.

 

3- Check on the Payments Tab:

Finally you can also see if this payment has been completed and paid using Sponsored Credits, under Payments Tab > Unpaid.

1- Go to the Payments Tab

2- Click on Unpaid and find the session invoice

3- Click on the 3 dots and click "View Details"

  • IF the invoice has "Sponsored = "NAME of the Wellbeing Hub" section for example Sponsor: Company name, then it suggest this session was completed using Sponsored Credits.
  • If the invoice doesn't has a "Sponsor" section then this booking was NOT paid with Credits and you need to collect payment directly with your Client using other payment methods. More information here

    Examples:
    Booking Paid with Credits (Sponsored)        Booking Without Credits (Sponsored) 
             

 

The "Sponsor" section displays the name of the company that provided the session credit. For instance, if the Sponsor is "ACME," it indicates that the session was part of the ACME Wellbeing Hub and was covered by ACME with a credit. This means that Kara Connect will handle the payment for this session according to the details outlined in this article.

Processing a Payment that is showing "Unpaid"

In some instances you might have forgotten to complete the Payment after the session took place. Don't worry, you will be able to see the invoice in your "Unpaid" Section under the Payments tab.

To complete and process the invoice, first you need to:

1- Go to the Payments Tab

2- Click on Unpaid and find the session invoice

3- Click on the 3 dots and click "Edit Payment Method"

4- To process the payment and complete your invoice click on the 3 dots again > Edit Payment >

  • If this was booked using Credits it will send you to the Session Completed Screen (as per below screenshot) where you need to click Confirm to process the payment.

  • If this session was NOT booked with Credits, then it will ask you to process the payment using any of the payment integrations you have (In this instance it is your responsibility to chase and collect payments using Kara Pay or your own systems. More information here)

Sending invoices to Kara Connect at the end of the month.

If you have any questions in this regard, please ask your clinic manager.

For any subsidised sessions booked with Credits, where your Kara Connect Customer Success Manager has informed you to invoice Kara Connect, please send the invoices at the end of every month to accounts@karaconnect.com.

 

If you submit your invoices by the 3rd working day of the following month, payments are scheduled by the 7th working day of the following month.

Frequently Asked Questions

- Should I send an invoice after every session that I have with a client?

No, please do not send multiple invoices! Please send one invoice for all sessions completed in the calendar month (e.g. all sessions completed from 1st-31st August).

- I have emailed the accounts department but not received a response yet. Should I be worried?

No, you should not be worried. Our accounts department has to work through a large volume of payments (particularly at the end of the month), so please don't be worried or concerned if you have not received a response. We always do our best to respond to all queries, but it might take 2-3 working days during busy periods.

If you need an answer urgently, please contact the Customer Success team via the blue chat bubble in the bottom-right of the page or email them at support@karaconnect.com.

- Why have I not received payment yet?

As described above, provided that your Wellbeing Hubs invoice is submitted to accounts@karaconnect.com by the 3rd working day of the month, Wellbeing Hub invoices are paid by the 7th working day of the month (please note - not the 7th day of the month! 😅).

If you have not received payment by close of business on the 7th working day of the month, please let us know.

Please note: If your invoice is submitted after the 3rd working day of the month, it will usually take a minimum of 7 working days after submission for payment to be processed.

What if the session was not charged by sponsored credits? How can I charge for these sessions.


If any sessions from our Wellbeing Hubs programme are conducted without credits, it is your responsibility to arrange payment options with your client.
