# Invoice Settings

Another way to collect partial or progress payments is when you're creating or editing an invoice. Begin by clicking on the invoice record, then select *Preview*.

<img src="https://mintcdn.com/fieldpulse/zxSZ-04YMpR2kJ5P/static/images/_api/1955750-partial-progress-payments/04.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=zxSZ-04YMpR2kJ5P&q=85&s=e3c4c3d5b45e6bd7a4af2ff9d29a5277" alt="Click on Preview" width="1200" height="664" data-path="static/images/_api/1955750-partial-progress-payments/04.png" />

Once in the invoice preview, select the text next to *Amount Due Displayed*.

<img src="https://mintcdn.com/fieldpulse/zxSZ-04YMpR2kJ5P/static/images/_api/1955750-partial-progress-payments/05.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=zxSZ-04YMpR2kJ5P&q=85&s=8750c733345a8e5a68e357424fad6c6a" alt="Select Set Amount from Amount Due Displayed" width="1200" height="664" data-path="static/images/_api/1955750-partial-progress-payments/05.png" />

You can now select what payment you'd like to collect from your customer: the remaining balance on their invoice, a set dollar amount, or a percentage of the total invoice.

<img src="https://mintcdn.com/fieldpulse/zxSZ-04YMpR2kJ5P/static/images/_api/1955750-partial-progress-payments/06.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=zxSZ-04YMpR2kJ5P&q=85&s=02ca85c1b1517f4a800fb3dc77180856" alt="Untitled step" width="1200" height="529" data-path="static/images/_api/1955750-partial-progress-payments/06.png" />

If you select *Set Amount*, you'll then need to enter the dollar amount you'd like to collect in the *Amount Due* field.

<img src="https://mintcdn.com/fieldpulse/zxSZ-04YMpR2kJ5P/static/images/_api/1955750-partial-progress-payments/07.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=zxSZ-04YMpR2kJ5P&q=85&s=4393d9865dd6432e09b24221051e6977" alt="Type " width="1200" height="664" data-path="static/images/_api/1955750-partial-progress-payments/07.png" />

If you select *Percentage of Total*, you'll then need to enter the percentage amount you'd like to collect in the *Amount Due* field.

<img src="https://mintcdn.com/fieldpulse/zxSZ-04YMpR2kJ5P/static/images/_api/1955750-partial-progress-payments/08.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=zxSZ-04YMpR2kJ5P&q=85&s=d1d64fcc00240ebbcb5c09172d5d3217" alt="Click on Percentage of Total Amount (%)" width="1200" height="664" data-path="static/images/_api/1955750-partial-progress-payments/08.png" />

Once you make your changes, your invoice preview will reflect the new amount due. You can now email the invoice to your customer or collect payment on site.
