Making a Client Fund Receipt from a Deposit Request
If a client is sent a Deposit Request, when the funds arrive you can receive this money using the original Deposit Request as a Template rather than re-entering each individual line. This will effectively create a new Client Fund Receipt based on the original Deposit Request.
This document is assuming the Deposit Request has already been created. For details on how to create a Deposit Request, see Request a Deposit.
Warning – Australian Users
From 1 October 2026, Australian businesses can no longer apply card payment surcharges on debit, prepaid and credit cards, including eftpos, Visa, Mastercard, American Express, UnionPay, JCB or PayPal payments.
Australian businesses should therefore ensure that any card surcharge settings configured within Migration Manager are set to $0.00 or 0.00%, as applicable.
The surcharge functionality described in the instructions below is intended for Migration Manager customers operating in countries where card payment surcharges remain permitted.
Australian users should not configure or apply a card surcharge using these settings.
