Pay an invoice

Find an invoice, read its lines and totals, download the PDF and pay it with your default card.

Every charge on your account comes on an invoice. Use the Invoices page to find an invoice, check what it covers and pay it with the card saved as your default.

You need the Access Billing permission to see invoices and pay them.

Find an invoice

  1. Open the account menu at the top right and select Billing.
  2. Select Invoices.

  4. To find one invoice, type its number in Search invoices….
  5. Select the invoice number, or the View Invoice button at the end of its row.

The list shows each invoice’s number under Invoice, its issue Date, its Due Date, its Total and its Status. Select a column heading to sort by it. To save a PDF without opening the invoice, select Download Invoice in the Actions column.

The invoice page has two cards.

Invoice Preview shows the invoice itself:

  • The status badge, and the Invoice Date, Due Date, Paid Date and Payment Method.
  • One row per line item, with its Description, Qty, Unit Amount and Line Total.
  • The totals. Subtotal is the sum of the lines. Discount appears when a discount applies. Each tax appears on its own row with its rate, for example GST (5%). Invoice Total is the full amount of the invoice. Credit Applied is account credit used on it. Balance Due is what is still left to pay.

Transactions lists every payment and refund recorded against this invoice, with its Date, Description, Amount and Status. A payment made from your credit reads Account Credit.
