Frequently Asked Questions
How do I void an invoice?
Open the invoice and click "Void". This marks the invoice as cancelled without deleting it, maintaining your audit trail. For paid invoices, you'll need to issue a credit note instead.
Can customers pay invoices online?
Yes! Invoices include a "Pay Now" button that links to your payment portal. Customers can pay by card, and the payment is automatically recorded against the invoice.
How do I handle partial payments?
Record the partial payment amount. The invoice status changes to "Partially Paid" and shows the remaining balance. You can send reminders for the outstanding amount.
Can I issue credit notes?
Yes, create credit notes to offset previous invoices. Credit notes can be applied to future invoices or refunded to the customer's original payment method.
