# Set Up 'Pay By' Relation Sales

###### Overview

This article explains how to set up a sale where one client pays on behalf of another using the **‘Pay By’** relation feature in Core. This is useful when a parent, employer, or another linked relation needs to manage payments for someone else's memberships, packages, or products.

---

Prerequisites

- You must be logged in to your Hapana Core account: [https://core.hapana.com/login](https://core.hapana.com/login)
- The **client making the payment** must already be linked as a **Relation** to the recipient’s account.
  
  > Tip: See related article “CORE | Link a Relation to a Client Account” below if this hasn’t been set up yet.

---

### Step 1: Log in and access the Payments section

1. Log in to your Hapana Core account.
2. From the top menu, click **Payments**.

FAQs

**Q: Can I set up Pay By sales for group purchases?**

A: Not at this time. 'Pay By' must be assigned per individual sale.

**Q: Why can’t I see anyone in the Pay By dropdown?**

A: Make sure the selected client has at least one Relation linked to their profile.

**Q: Can a Relation pay for multiple clients?**

A: Yes, a Relation can be linked to multiple accounts and used in multiple 'Pay By' transactions.
