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. From the Dashboard, tap the New tile in the Shortcuts grid, then tap Accept payment.

  2. Pick the customer who is paying from the list that opens. The Accept Payment screen opens with everything they still owe listed underneath.

  3. Confirm or change the date — it defaults to today.

  4. Tap the payment method button next to the date and choose how the customer paid.

    Select a payment method dialog listing American Express, Cash, Check, Discover, Mastercard, PayPal and Visa, with Cash marked

  5. Tick the invoice being paid — its full balance drops into the amount box. Type a smaller figure instead for a partial payment. The Payment total at the top adds up whatever you enter.

  6. Tap the Save icon (the floppy disk in the action bar) — the payment is recorded and the app opens the customer's Payments tab.

  7. To check the invoice, open it and tap the Payments tab. The balance now reads 0.00 and the status has changed.

Good to Know

  • One payment across several invoices. Everything the customer owes is listed on the Accept Payment screen — tick more than one and enter an amount against each to settle them all in a single payment.
  • Paying one invoice from the invoice itself. Open the invoice, tap the Payments tab, then tap Add Payment. That opens the New Payment screen, which records a payment against that invoice only.
  • Partial payments. Enter less than the balance. The invoice moves to Partially Paid and the rest stays on the Payments tab.
  • Edit or delete a payment. Long-hold a payment row on the Payments tab to edit, email, print, or delete it.
