Invoice Payment

There are a few ways Invoices can be paid. First open the Billing page and select the “Invoices” sub page.

If your client has a billing method added to their account there will be an “Attempt Credit Card for Payment” button beside the “Mark As Paid” button on the invoice.

Pressing this button will charge your client’s credit card if they have one available.

Otherwise, your client can pay outside of the portal. To record an outside payment you can simply press the “Mark As Paid” button on the invoice.

Your client can also prepay their Invoices using a credit balance. To learn how credit balances work and how to set one up visit the following page:
