# Change payment method of participants

Changing the *payment method* for an invoice may be necessary for a variety of reasons.<br>

Typical reasons for an adjustment are:

* For participants who paid by credit card, a follow-up booking is made in the backend and this should be paid by bank transfer.
* Change a chargeable booking to a non-chargeable booking (and vice versa).
* Participants retrospectively request a change to the *method of payment*.

Changing the payment method changes **the information text on the invoice** below the items. For example, the bank details and the payment terms are then added here for transfers. It is also an important **filter criterion** in the invoice overview, for example, to display all free participations.<br>

To customize the payment method, proceed as follows:

1. Open the invoice you want.
2. In the invoice details, select the desired payment method in the *Payment* field.
3. Do additional fees apply or are they waived with the new payment method? Then check the box next to *Automatically adjust additional payment costs?*
4. Regardless of this, [individual additional payment costs can also be charged](https://manual.converia.de/teilnehmende/personen-und-teilnehmende-verwalten/zahlungen-in-converia-verwalten/zahlung-oder-gutschrift-fur-eine-rechnung-hinterlegen#id-5.-zahlungsnebenkosten).
5. *Save* and [update the](https://manual.converia.de/de/teilnehmende/personen-und-teilnehmende-verwalten/buchungen-und-rechnungen-verwalten/rechnungen-aktualisieren.html) invoice.<br>
