Invoices and payments
Understand payment status and Stop-on-Paid
Check the source of an invoice balance and handle paid, pending, or uncertain payments.
Check an invoice
- Open Invoices (or Records) and select the invoice, or open a case and select it from the Invoices tab.
- Review Status, Operational state, Source, Invoice total, Outstanding, Due, and Updated. An unavailable balance needs investigation; it does not mean zero is owed.
- Review the invoice timeline for payment and sync activity. Compare the record with your accounting or payment source if anything is unexpected.
- For connected accounting data, correct or confirm payment in the source system, request a sync, and check the resulting status in MarkPaid.
How Stop-on-Paid works
When MarkPaid confirms an invoice is paid, follow-up for that paid invoice stops. Paid is a terminal state: a later retry or sync must not restart collection on it. MarkPaid checks current payment and follow-up state before sending.
Payment detection depends on current, verified information. If a customer says they have paid but the invoice still appears open, pause the relevant follow-up and verify the payment. Do not send another reminder while the discrepancy is unresolved.
A payment that is processing or awaiting review is not confirmed paid. Where Connected Payments is enabled, a checkout return page alone does not establish payment; the verified provider confirmation must be reconciled.
Use financial actions carefully
- Only use Mark paid after verifying payment and reviewing the confirmation dialog. Do not use it simply to dismiss a case or suppress a reminder.
- If a paid status appears incorrect, contact support with the invoice reference and source records. Do not create a duplicate invoice to resume follow-up.
- Connected payment links appear only for eligible accounts and authorized users. Their absence does not prevent you from reviewing invoices and their source payment status.
