Marking a payment records money your customer has already paid — cash, a check, or any method handled outside FieldPulse — against the [invoice](https://www.fieldpulse.com/features/estimates-and-invoices) it belongs to. The payment record is what moves the invoice to **Paid** or **Partially Paid** and keeps the balance due accurate. To take a card or ACH payment through FieldPulse instead of recording one, see [How to Collect Payments: 3 Methods](/payments/collecting/collecting-payments-3-methods). ## Overview Marking a payment attaches a payment record to an invoice with the payment method, amount, date, and any notes. Payment records are what mark an invoice **Paid** or **Partially Paid** — with the full amount recorded the invoice reads **Paid**, and with part of the amount recorded it reads **Partially Paid**. Every payment record lives under the **Payments** tab of the invoice record, in a row that shows **Number**, **Invoice Number**, **Customer**, **Method**, **Amount**, **Notes**, **Payment Date**, **Payment Ref.**, and **Synced**. You can mark a payment on one invoice at a time on the web app or the mobile app, or mark several invoices paid at once from the **Invoices** list. ## Before you begin * Collecting a credit card payment, collecting an ACH payment, and sending a payment request all require FieldPulse Payments — see [How to Collect Payments: 3 Methods](/payments/collecting/collecting-payments-3-methods). * Have the payment method, amount, and date in front of you so the record matches what the customer paid. ## On web ### Mark a payment on an invoice Record the payment on the invoice it belongs to. 1.
