Why am I not getting paid?

Your client is the one that releases payments, please reach out to them directly to inquire on the payment status.

You do not need to be a registered SparcPay vendor to receive payment.

How do I submit invoices for payment?

The method for submitting an invoice depends on the type of SparcPay account your client uses. Please contact your client directly for specific instructions.

Here are some examples of common submission methods:

  • Direct Entry: Some clients may require invoices to be entered directly into their accounting system.
  • Email Submission: Others may ask you to email the invoice to a specific SparcPay submission inbox.

Important Notes for Submitting Invoices via email:

  • Dedicated Submission Inbox: If your client has instructed you to email the invoice, ensure you use the correct dedicated invoice submission email provided by them.
  • PDF Size Limit: The maximum size for PDF attachments is 4 MB.
  • Avoid Duplicate Submissions: Submit each invoice only once, as duplicate submissions will be rejected.

If you are unsure about the invoice submission process or do not have the submission inbox details, please reach out to your client for further clarification.
