How to mark the invoice as paid and send a receipt using the mobile app (New)

You can mark an invoice as paid using these easy methods: by opening the invoice directly or through the invoice document page. Once you’ve received payment via bank transfer, cheque, or EFT, follow the steps below to mark it as paid and send a receipt, all within the mobile app.

Option 1

Step 1: Select the Invoice

From your invoice list, tap on the invoice you’d like to mark as paid.

Step 2: Tap 'Record payment'

Once inside the invoice, tap the 'Record payment' button to begin the process.

Step 3: Toggle On 'Fully paid'

If the entire invoice amount has been received, toggle on the 'Fully paid' button.

You can leave this off if it's a partial payment.

Step 4: Choose a Payment Method

Tap 'Payment Method' to select how the payment was made. Options may include:

  • Cash

  • Check

  • Credit card

  • Bank transfer

Step 5: Add Notes (Optional)

If needed, use the 'Note' section to add any details about the payment, such as transaction IDs or internal comments.

Step 6. Select the Payment Date

Tap the 'Date' field to choose the date when the payment was received.

Step 7: Submit the Payment

Once all fields are completed, tap 'Submit' to save the payment information.

Step 8: Sending the Receipt

After submitting the payment, your customer’s email address will be auto-filled. Simply tap 'Send' to email the payment receipt to your client.

Option 2

Step 1: Select the Invoice

Go to your list of invoices, and locate the invoice you want to mark as paid.

Step 2: Swipe Left on the Invoice

Once you’ve found the correct invoice, swipe it to the left. A menu with different action options will appear.

Step 3: Tap on ‘Paid’

From the action menu, select ‘Paid’.

Step 4: Confirm by Tapping ‘Yes!’

A warning message will appear reminding you that if the invoice is manually marked as paid, and the invoice was originally set up for card payment via the invoice link, your client will no longer be able to pay through that link. If you’ve already received payment through another method, go ahead and tap ‘Yes!’ to confirm.

Step 5. Send the Payment Receipt

Bookipi will automatically populate your customer's email address. You can review it and simply tap ‘Send’ to email the payment receipt.

Option 3 (Saved status)

Step 1: Select the Invoice

Navigate to your invoice list, and tap on the invoice you want to mark as paid.

Step 2: Tap ‘Save’

After reviewing the invoice details, tap ‘Save’ to proceed.

Step 3: Tap the ‘Next’ Button

In the top right corner, tap the ‘Next’ button to continue.

Step 4: Tap ‘Mark as sent/paid’

At the bottom of the page, tap on ‘Mark as sent/paid’ to bring up the payment options.

Step 5: Tap ‘Record payment’

From the available options, tap ‘Record payment’ to begin entering payment details.

Step 6: Record Full or Partial Payment

If the invoice is fully paid, switch the ‘Fully paid’ toggle on. If it’s a partial payment, leave the toggle off to enter the specific amount paid.

Step 7: Add Payment Details

Fill Out the Payment Fields. Tap each field to enter the relevant payment information:

  • Payment Method (e.g. cash, bank transfer, card, etc.)

  • Note (optional — e.g., reference number, transaction ID)

  • Date (for payment date)

Step 8: Finalize the Payment

Tap ‘Submit’ once you’ve completed all payment details.

Step 9: Tap ‘Send’ to Email a Receipt

You’ll have the option to send a payment receipt to your client. Simply tap ‘Send’ to email it directly from the app.

Once the invoice is marked as paid, it is automatically moved to the “Archive” section. This helps you keep your active invoices clean and only shows those that still require attention.

You’re Done! You’ve now successfully recorded a payment, sent a receipt to your customer, and archived a completed invoice.

Common FAQs on how to mark an invoice as paid and send a receipt using the mobile app

Q: What payment methods can I record when marking an invoice as paid?

A. You can record payments made through direct bank transfer, cheque, electronic funds transfer (EFT), or cash.

Q: Will I be notified if there’s a pending card payment before marking the invoice as paid?

A. Yes. If a card payment is still pending, a warning will appear letting you know that manually marking the invoice as paid will disable the card payment option for your client.

Q: Can I include extra payment details when recording a payment?

A. Yes. You can add any relevant notes in the “Notes” section before completing the process.

Q: Can I resend a receipt later if needed?

A. If you’ve already marked the invoice as paid, you will need to remove the recorded payment first. After that, mark the invoice as paid again to send a receipt.

Q: What happens after I send the receipt?

A. The customer will receive an email confirming their payment, and the invoice will be updated to reflect the paid status.

Q: Can I record a partial payment?


A: Yes, you can. Simply leave the "Fully Paid" toggle off and enter the exact amount received. Once recorded, the system will automatically deduct the payment from the invoice total, leaving the remaining balance.
