Payments, credit notes and voids

Keep every balance accurate. Record what clients paid, credit what you owe them back, and void invoices that should never have gone out.

2 min read

Card payments through Stripe are recorded for you. For anything else, such as a bank transfer, a check or cash, record the payment yourself so the balance stays correct.

Record a payment

  1. Open the invoice

    Choose Record Payment in the invoice details, or the $ icon on the invoice's row.

  2. Enter the amount

    Type any amount up to the balance due, or use a preset: Full Balance, 50% or 25%.

  3. Choose the method

    Bank Transfer (ACH/Wire), Credit Card, Check, Cash, PayPal or Other.

  4. Add a note

    Optional. For example Check #1234 or Ref: TXN-5678.

The Record Payment dialog with amount presets and payment methods
Record Payment shows the invoice total, what's already paid and the current balance.

A payment smaller than the balance makes the invoice Partial. When the balance reaches zero it becomes Paid. Every payment appears in the invoice's Payment History and in the Activity log.

Issue a credit note

Use a credit note when you owe the client money back or need to reduce what they owe: a refund, an overcharge, a discount agreed after the sale.

  1. Choose Issue Credit

    In the invoice details.

  2. Enter the credit amount

    Up to the balance due, or use Full Credit or 50%.

  3. Pick a reason

    Refund, Overcharge correction, Post-sale discount, Billing error, Goodwill credit or Other.

  4. Add notes

    Optional detail about the credit.

The Issue Credit Note dialog with credit amount, reason and notes
Issue Credit Note shows the invoice total and current balance.

Pricely creates a numbered credit note (CN-0001, CN-0002…) and lowers the invoice balance by that amount. If the balance reaches zero, the invoice is marked paid. The credit is logged in the activity log.

Void an invoice

Void an invoice that was sent by mistake or replaced by a new one. Void Invoice is available on any invoice that isn't paid or already void.

  • The invoice is marked Void and its total, amount paid and balance are set to zero.
  • The invoice stays in your list, which maintains your audit trail.
