Payments
Send L$ and review your store's payment history.
The payments page gives you a web view of money moving through your store. You can review sales-related activity, profit shares, subscription charges, commission fees, and manual L$ payments without logging inworld just to check history.
The page is organized into two tabs, Sent Payments at stores.allomancy.com/payments/sent and Received Payments at stores.allomancy.com/payments/received. A date range picker and a payment-type filter sit above each tab.
Payments sent from your store use your rezzed vendors. You need at least one active vendor inworld for outgoing payments, including manual sends, to succeed.
Sending a L$ payment
The Sent Payments tab shows a button at the top of the page that opens the Send L$ dialog. On a brand-new account, you may see Enable L$ payments instead. This enables manual L$ sends from the web and requires an inworld confirmation step.
Enabling web L$ payments
Click Enable L$ payments
On the Sent Payments tab, click Enable L$ payments to start the flow. Allomancy sends a link to your avatar in Second Life so you can authorize the feature.
Open the link inworld
Open the link in Second Life to finish enabling the feature.
Sending a payment
On the Sent Payments tab, click Send L$, enter the Receiver Username and Amount (L$), and optionally add a Message. Allomancy looks up the recipient so you can review their avatar picture and the amount before sending. One of your rezzed vendors handles the actual transfer when you click Pay
If a payment fails after confirmation, see Payment Troubleshooting for what each status means and what to check.
You can disable web L$ payments from inside the Send L$ dialog using the Disable payments button. Re-enabling later goes through the inworld confirmation again.
Reviewing sent payments
The Sent Payments tab is your record of every L$ that has left your store: sales-related fees, profit shares, subscription charges, refunds, and any manual sends you have made.
The chart at the top groups payments by recipient, ranked by total L$. Below the chart, a single-line Total sums the visible payments, with a "(Refunds excluded)" note when refunds are filtered out.
Each row in the table shows:
- Receiver: the resident who received the payment.
- Amount: the L$ value.
- Status: see Payment statuses below.
- Message: any text returned by the payment system.
- Source: where the payment came from, such as
WebRequest,Subscription, orProfitShare. See Where each payment came from. - Transaction ID: a short identifier shown only for completed payments, with a copy button.
- Date: the payment date.
Use the search box to find rows by name, the date range picker to pick a window (the default is All time), and the payment-type dropdown to filter the list to All, Manual, ProfitShares, Fees, Refunds, Subscriptions, or Other.
If a row shows the red alert icon, head to Payment Troubleshooting for a checklist of likely causes and a reference table of the underlying error codes.
Reviewing received payments
The Received Payments tab shows the same kind of information from the other side: payments that came into your store. Use it to review profit-share income from products you collaborated on, refunds processed back to you, or any manual L$ another resident has sent you through Allomancy.
The tab opens with a chart of payments grouped by payer, a Total summary, and a table with these columns:
- Payer: the resident who paid.
- Amount, Status, Message, Source, Transaction ID, and Date: same meanings as on the Sent Payments tab.
The payment-type filter on this tab is narrower: All, Manual, ProfitShares, Refunds, or Other. To send L$ manually, use the Send L$ flow on the Sent Payments tab.
Payment statuses
Failed and Error rows both use the same red alert icon. For the full status reference and practical guidance on what to check when a payment does not go through, see Payment Troubleshooting.
Where each payment came from
Every row in the Sent and Received tables has a Source column. Source labels you may see include:
- WebRequest: a payment you initiated from the website.
- ProfitShare: a profit share related to a product.
- Subscription: an Allomancy subscription charge.
- BasicPlanFee: a basic plan or commission fee.
- Refund: a refunded transaction.
- Scheduled: a scheduled payment.
- Coupon: a payout related to coupons.
- Referral: a payout related to referrals.
The payment-type filter dropdown above each table groups these sources into a smaller set of practical buckets (Manual, ProfitShares, Fees, Subscriptions, Refunds, Other) so you can quickly narrow the list when you only want to see one kind of payment.
Your payment history stays available when you are offline in Second Life, so you can reconcile earnings on your own schedule.
