Payment history
Below the invoice, you’ll see any recorded payments with the date, method, reference number, and amount.
Recording a payment
For cash, check, money order, or any manual payment:
- Click Record Payment
- Enter the amount (defaults to the full balance)
- Select the payment method (Cash, Check, Money Order, Other)
- Optionally enter a reference number (like the check number)
- Verify the date
- Click Submit Payment
The invoice updates immediately — if fully paid, status changes to “Paid.” If partially paid, it shows “Partial Paid.”
Tip: For checks, always enter the check number in the reference field. It makes reconciliation much easier.
Sending an invoice
Click Send Invoice to email it to the renter. You can review and edit the subject line and message before sending. Once sent, the invoice gets a green “Sent” badge.
Issuing a credit
If a renter overpaid, or you need to issue a courtesy credit:
- Click Issue Credit (only available on paid invoices)
- Enter the credit amount (cannot exceed the available balance)
- Add a reference number and notes explaining why
- Click Process Credit
A credit memo is created on the renter’s account. The credit can be applied to future invoices, refunded to their card, or settled manually.
Voiding an invoice
Use this when an invoice was created by mistake and should never have existed.
- Click More menu (⋮) → Void Invoice
- Enter a reason
- Confirm
Important: You can only void invoices with no recorded payments. If payments exist, issue a credit or refund instead.
Marking as uncollectable (bad debt)
When a renter won’t pay and you need to write off the balance:
- Click More menu (⋮) → Mark Uncollectable
- Enter the reason
- Confirm
The invoice is closed and the balance moves to your bad debt records in Accounting.
Choosing the right action
| Situation | Action |
|---|---|
| Invoice was a mistake, no payments | Void |
| Renter overpaid | Issue Credit |
| Renter paid cash or check | Record Payment |
| Renter won’t pay, ever | Mark Uncollectable |
| Need to adjust the amount owed | Issue Credit or create a manual adjustment |
Credit Memos tab
Click the Credit Memos tab on any invoice to see credits linked to it — both credits issued from this invoice and credits applied to it.
Common questions
Can I edit an invoice? No. Once created, invoices are permanent financial records. Use credits or adjustments instead.
What does “Payment Pending” mean? A card charge has been submitted to Stripe and is awaiting confirmation. Usually resolves in minutes.
Why can’t I void this invoice? It has recorded payments. Issue a credit or refund instead.
How do I apply an existing credit to this invoice? Credits are typically auto-applied. You can also apply them from the renter’s Credits tab.
