Web App: Method 1
You will first navigate to the Invoice tab on the left-side of your screen. From there, select or create the invoice that you would like to take payment on. Select Preview to generate the invoice for you.
Once the invoice PDF has been generated, select Email to Customer.
This will display a window where you can adjust the email message and toggle on the Include Payment Request. You will now be able to enter the payment request amount.
You can now send the invoice and payment request to your customer. Once the payment has been processed, the status of the invoice record in FieldPulse will now say Paid. You can view the payment history under Payments as well.
