Payment Tracking
Every payment, every method, one audit trail
Whether a customer pays through Stripe or you record a check at the counter, it lands in the same audit trail — date, method, amount, and reference — so reconstructing what happened on any invoice takes seconds, not a search through email.
One trail, every method
Stripe payments and manually recorded ones live in the same history per invoice.
Refunds stay accounted for
Refunds tie back to the original payment and update the customer's net paid total.
Reminders before it's overdue
Pro accounts can send payment reminder emails tied to due dates.
How it works
Payment comes in
Online via Stripe, or recorded manually after the fact.
It's logged automatically
Date, method, amount, and reference are captured.
Balance recalculates
The invoice and AR aging update immediately.
Reminders cover the gap
Upcoming and overdue balances can trigger an email.
Deposits, milestones, and a final balance — all on one invoice, with every payment recorded.
