Recording customer payments

Match an incoming payment to one or more invoices and update your bank balance.

When a customer pays, you record a receipt. The receipt reduces the Accounts Receivable balance for that customer and increases your bank or cash account.

  1. 1Go to Sales → Receive Payment and click New.
  2. 2Select the customer. Their outstanding invoices appear automatically.
  3. 3Select the invoices being paid. Partial payment is allowed — you can split an amount across multiple invoices.
  4. 4Choose the bank account the funds were received into and enter the payment date.
  5. 5Confirm the receipt. The invoice status changes to Paid or Partially Paid.

If a customer overpays, the excess is held as a credit on their account and can be applied to a future invoice.
