Repetitive BTCPay Server work Flann takes off your plate
These are the jobs that come back every day or every week. Message Flann instead, and keep the decisions for yourself.
Month-end tidy for your accountant
Today
Before the accountant asks, someone has to find the uncategorised transactions, missing receipts and invoices left in draft. That someone is usually you, late on the last day of the month.
With Flann
“What is still loose in BTCPay Server before I send the month to my accountant?”
Across BTCPay Server, Flann looks for uncategorised lines, expenses with no receipt, drafts never issued and anything that looks duplicated, then sends you the lot as one tidy list. Obvious fixes come with a suggestion.
What you stop doing: The accountant stops sending you the same questions every month.
Refunds handled properly
Today
When a customer asks for money back, you search BTCPay Server for the original payment, check what was bought and work out how much is due. Then you still have to reply.
With Flann
“Refund the deposit Omar paid last week, he cancelled in time.”
Locating Omar’s payment in BTCPay Server, Flann confirms the amount and prepares the refund against the original charge. It also drafts a short message telling Omar when to expect the money.
What you stop doing: Refunds stop turning into a small investigation.
