How to record a check, wire, cash or ACH payment. A step-by-step walkthrough of the screens, buttons and fields involved.

The steps, written out

  1. Open Payments and press Record payment (or press Record payment on the invoice itself).
  2. Choose the customer and press Continue.
  3. Set the Date received, Method (Check, ACH, Wire, Cash or Card), the Reference / check # and notes.
  4. In Apply to invoices type the amount for each invoice; the balance is pre-filled.
  5. Press Save payment.

Tip

The invoices update to Partial or Paid, the payment is posted to the ledger and a receipt is emailed to the customer. The customer's credit hold is re-checked and released automatically if they are now current. "Enter an amount to apply" means every Apply box was empty. For money received before there is an invoice, use Deposits.
