How to Record a Customer Payment

When a customer pays, record it against their invoice. The invoice status updates automatically — Partially Paid for a partial amount, Fully Paid once the balance hits zero.

Steps

  1. Open the invoice the customer is paying. Tap it from the Invoices list or from the Dashboard.

  2. Tap the Payments tab — you'll see the Total Due, Total Paid, and Balance for this invoice.

  3. Tap Add Payment — the Accept Payment screen opens with the customer already filled in.

  4. Confirm or change the Date — defaults to today.

  5. Tap Payment Method and select how the customer paid (Cash, Check, Credit Card, Bank Transfer, or any method you've configured).

  6. Find this invoice in the open invoices list — the full balance is pre-filled next to it. Edit the amount if the customer is making a partial payment.

  7. Tap Save (the checkmark icon) — the confirmation "Payment was applied." appears and the invoice status updates immediately.

Good to Know

  • One payment across multiple invoices. The open invoices list shows all unpaid invoices for this customer — you can apply a single payment across multiple invoices at once by checking each one and entering the amount for each.
  • Edit or delete a payment. Long-press any payment in the Payments tab to edit it, print a receipt, or delete it.
  • Partial payments. Enter less than the full balance to make a partial payment. The invoice moves to Partially Paid and the remaining balance stays on the Payments tab.
  • Starting from the Dashboard. Tap the + (New) button > Accept payment, then select the customer — this is handy when you're collecting payment at the point of sale.
