What is the invoice autocomplete function?
The invoice autocomplete function is an optional setting within the Sheepy platform designed to simplify the invoice settlement process. When this function is enabled, the system automatically updates the status of an invoice to “Completed” once a payment is received and confirmed - even if the amount paid is slightly different from the exact amount specified on the invoice. This variance may occur due to minor exchange rate fluctuations, rounding differences, or user-side entry errors.
Instead of marking such invoices as “Invalid” and requiring manual review, the autocomplete function streamlines the workflow by finalizing these transactions automatically. This reduces the operational overhead for merchants, eliminates delays in payment processing, and enhances the overall customer experience by ensuring that minor discrepancies do not cause avoidable errors.
This feature is particularly valuable for high-frequency merchants, businesses that accept payments in volatile markets, or those looking to optimize their automation. Once activated, it applies to all new invoices generated through the API or dashboard interface. For technical guidance, visit the API documentation or contact our support team at [email protected].
