Record a payment on an invoice
Updated today

When a customer pays you, record it on the invoice so your books stay up to date. You can record the full amount or part of it.

  1. Open the invoice.
  2. Click Record payment.
  3. Enter the amount you received and click Save.
  4. If part is still owed, the invoice stays open and shows Partly paid.
Paid in parts? Record each payment separately. The invoice shows Partly paid until the full amount is in.
