💡 New! From now on, your booking statements will include all products in your Smeetz account. Previously, statements were sent individually for each product after each event or week. 

What are the benefits of a consolidated booking statement?

1. Your accounting is simplified
From now on, all your booking statements for your different products will be grouped in one document, which makes it much easier to reconcile your accounts and saves you time.

2. More flexibility in terms of financial management
Thanks to the update of Smeetz Pay and the introduction of grouped booking statements, the management of refunds is simplified as all revenues from your activities are grouped in one common account, which ensures that you always have the necessary funds to refund your customers in case of cancellation for example. 

3. Reduce your administrative burden
The use of credit notes is no longer necessary. Fewer invoices mean fewer accounting entries and less administrative burden. Everyone wins!

1. What is a booking statement?

The booking statement is a document that Smeetz sends to you by email every week or after your event. It details the sales made the previous week on all your products, indicates the amount we will transfer you after the deduction of fees, and the date of this transfer.

Normally, this statement is followed by a payment 15 days after it is issued, excluding bank deadlines.

Please note that by default the Booking Statements are automatically sent on a weekly basis. However, should you require it to be sent monthly or at the end of an event, do not hesitate to contact us.

Once sales of each product have ended, you will also receive a summary report detailing your sales of this single product. This summary does not lead to a payment; only the statement mentioned above does.
