Setting up Billingo invoicing

How to connect Billingo: where to get the API key, what to select in Bokko, how automatic sending and invoice mode work, and what happens if another invoicing provider is already active.

You connect Billingo on the Integrations page, in the Invoicing section, on the Billingo invoicing tile. Bokko first verifies the API key, then lets you choose the invoicing settings it needs to issue documents.

InfoInvoicing integration is available from the Starter plan, and can be set up by the Owner or Manager role.
WarningOnline deposits require a working invoicing provider. Without it, the Deposit switch in Booking rules cannot be turned on; instead you see: “To enable deposits, first connect a working invoicing provider (Billingo or Számlázz.hu).”

1. Get the API key in Billingo

You create the API key in your Billingo account, under Settings → API keys, using the New API key option. Bokko uses the V3 API, which needs only a single (public) key, and the key must have read and write scope — Bokko has to create documents, not just read them.

The exact steps and the difference between API versions are described in Billingo’s official help: API kulcsok — Billingo Support (Hungarian).

WarningIf your Billingo subscription does not include API access, the key will not work and Bokko will not let you continue. That has to be resolved on the Billingo side.

2. Connect it in Bokko

  1. Open Integrations in the dashboard.
  2. In the Invoicing section, click Set up on the Billingo invoicing tile. The Connect Billingo dialog opens.
  3. Paste your Billingo API key and click Verify.
  4. After a successful check the dialog moves to the Configure step. Fill in the settings, then click Save.
  1. 1. Billingo invoicing

3. Choose your settings

FieldWhat you select
Document blockWhich Billingo document block numbers your invoices. Required.
Bank accountWhich Billingo bank account appears on the document. Required.
Receipt blockA separate, receipt-type block. You can set it, but Bokko does not currently issue receipts through the invoicing provider (see below).
Default VAT rate27% or 0% (VAT exempt).
Default payment methodCash, card, bank transfer or other.
Tax number (optional)Not required.
I can issue invoices (I am a registered business)Must be ticked; otherwise the settings cannot be saved.
I accept business clientsWhen off, only individual invoicing is available on the booking page.

Bokko only lets you save a block and bank account that actually exist in the verified Billingo account.

InfoYou can set a receipt block, but Bokko does not currently issue receipts through the invoicing provider. At completion you see: “Receipt issuance is not available. Choose an invoice or record an external document.”

Readiness and invoice mode

After a successful connection, the Connection details card shows the connection, the selected document block and bank account, whether Invoices and Receipts are set up, the status (Ready to use or Incomplete), the invoice mode, VAT rate, payment method and connection date.

Billingo always issues invoices immediately as final, numbered documents — there is no draft. The Invoice mode row shows who delivers it: “Final invoice, you send it to the guest” (default) or “Final invoice, sent to the guest automatically by the invoicing provider” (when Automatic sending is on).

  1. 1. Edit settings

4. Automatic sending

After connecting, Edit settings opens the Invoicing settings dialog, where you can turn on Automatic sending (“The invoicing provider automatically issues and delivers the documents.”).

  • When on, at completion you can choose Issue an invoice with the invoicing software in the Document section. The invoice is not created automatically on every completion: you select it in the completion dialog.
  • When off, the provider document cannot be selected at completion; you can only record an external document.
WarningWhen enabled, documents are issued immediately in finalized form. The switch can be turned on when “I can issue invoices” is ticked and the selected document block and bank account exist in Billingo.

Inactive integration

InfoThe integration can become inactive automatically (for example if the key stops working). The card then says: “Configured but currently inactive. Reactivate it for guest invoicing.” — use Reactivate to turn it back on.

If another invoicing provider is already active

Only one invoicing provider can be active at a time. While Számlázz.hu is active, the Billingo tile is not shown: start the change with Switch to another provider, and after confirming, the Connect Billingo dialog opens. After a successful connection Számlázz.hu is deactivated automatically (not deleted), and documents issued earlier remain.

Disconnecting

  1. On the active Billingo card, click Disconnect.
  2. Confirm. If there are still redeemable gift cards or passes, a second dialog appears; continue with Continue with disconnect.

Disconnecting removes the saved integration and the stored API key from Bokko. Invoices already issued stay in Billingo.

WarningBokko helps you handle invoices requested by guests. On-site payments, receipts, cash registers and your own POS system remain your responsibility.
