Invoice settings: bill-to, payee, and who the school pays

On events Bluebridge doesn't pay, the Compensation section of Settings carries the billing half of the arrangement: who receives the invoice, who it's addressed to, and who the school actually pays. Setting it once saves re-answering it on every match. None of it appears when the Payment vendor is Bluebridge, and officials never see it.

Finance contact

Finance contact (a name, optional) and Finance email are who receives match invoices. They're also filled in, and remembered, the first time you send one from a match.

Bill to

Who receives an invoice and who it's addressed to aren't the same thing. A school's accounts payable wants the institution on the bill, an attention line so it reaches the right desk inside a large athletics department, and an address to file it against.

• Bill to — the institution, e.g. "Concordia University Irvine Athletics". Leave it blank and the invoice uses the school's name from the event, then the finance contact's name.
• Attn — printed first in the address block, because it's routing. Typing "Attn:" yourself won't double it.
• Street, City, State, ZIP — an empty block prints nothing rather than a blank line.

Who the school pays

• Pays an entity — one payment, which the entity distributes. Once you name a payee it reads Pays [payee].
• Pays officials direct — each line names who to pay, from each official's saved payment method.

This is the starting choice for each invoice, and you can change it in the invoice dialog. It only applies to single-match invoices: one covering several matches is always settled as one payment.

Payee

You don't always invoice as yourself. A local umpires association is often the payee: the school pays the association, the association pays the officials, and your own name and bank details have nothing to do with it. The Payee fields appear when the school pays an entity.

• Payee — the entity's name. Naming one is what makes invoices bill from it.
• Payee email and address — printed in the invoice's From block.
• Check payable to, Zelle, and bank details (Bank name, Account holder, Routing number, Account number) — printed in the Payment Instructions, check first, then bank, then Zelle, the order a school reaches for them.

A payee replaces both halves of the invoice together, the From block and the payment instructions, because an association's name above your personal Zelle handle would be worse than either alone. Leave Payee blank to invoice as yourself, from your profile and saved payment methods.
