Recording a Payment
Mark invoices as paid when you receive payment from clients
To record a payment:

- Click "Record Payment" or update the invoice status
- Enter the payment amount and date received
- Select the payment method (bank transfer, credit card, cash, etc.)
- Add any notes or reference numbers (optional)
- Save the payment record
Tip
Recording a payment automatically updates the invoice status to "Paid" and updates your analytics.
