PAS Automation

This guide covers the automated PAS system, which builds invoices from checkouts and manages payment prompts.

What PAS Automation Does

• Watches incoming checkouts and creates PAS invoices.

• Sends automated payment prompts.

• Tracks paid vs unpaid submissions.

PAS automation depends on checkout forwarding. Make sure you’ve set up watchers or receivers first.

Requirements

• Checkout forwarders configured (watchers preferred).

• PAS panel posted and configured.

• Stripe or manual payment method configured if you use Stripe automation.

Setup Steps

1) Configure PAS Basics

/pas setup

Posts the PAS panel and initializes default settings. You can also add or update payment methods after setup:

/pas methods add
/pas methods rename
/pas methods remove

2) Configure PAS Prompts

/pas prompts

Customize the DM prompt flow used in PAS submissions.

3) Enable PAS Automation

/pasauto setup

Initializes PAS automation and creates default configuration.

4) Configure PAS Automation Rules

/pasauto site_settings

Set automation behavior, auto-send invoice timing, PAS card channels, etc.

View current automation settings with:

/pasauto config

5) Configure Rates

/pasauto rate add

Manually add rate rules by site, product, or category.

When new unique items appear in a checkout, they are posted to the PAS alerts channel. You can right-click the alert message to set a rate for that item. Invoices for items without a pas rate and never sent.

Manage rates with:

/pasauto rate list
/pasauto rate edit
/pasauto rate remove

6) Link Items (Optional)

If you need item-level matching:

/pasauto link_item

This is useful when using multiple bots as they may have slightly different product names causing multiple pas alerts for the same product.

7) Monitor Invoices

/pasauto invoices dashboard

Use the dashboard to monitor pending and sent invoices.

Invoice Management

• /pasauto invoices pending - List pending invoices.

• /pasauto invoices send - Send unpaid invoices manually.

• /pasauto invoices adjust - Adjust entries before sending.

• /pasauto invoices void - Void invoices.

• /pasauto invoices import - Import historical invoices.

Site-Specific PAS Channels

You can route PAS cards by site to specific channels. Configure and edit site channels in:

/pasauto site_settings

Use the same command to update channel assignments later.

Stripe (Optional)

If you use Stripe automation:

/pas stripe

Configure Stripe keys and webhook usage.

Check status with:

/pas stripe_dashboard

Troubleshooting

• Missing invoices: confirm checkout forwarding is working.

• Mismatched users: verify EmailMapper mappings.

• No prompts: check PAS prompts and DM permissions.
