Invoicing & Sales / Customer Payments
Every payment lands where it belongs.
Record payments — full, partial, or ahead of schedule — and the invoice, the customer’s balance, and your bank all update in the same moment.
Card and bank, online
Customers pay straight from the invoice. The money and the paperwork arrive together.
Both sides at once
A payment lowers what the customer owes and raises your bank balance in the same posting — the two can never disagree.
Overpayments stay visible
Paid too much? The extra sits as credit on the customer’s account until you apply or refund it. Never lost, never forgotten.
Partial payments
Half now, half later, correct the whole time
Take $1,000 against a $2,450 invoice and Bokeping does the honest thing: the invoice shows exactly what’s still due, your bank shows exactly what arrived, and the customer’s balance agrees with both. Take the rest later — or in three more pieces — and nothing drifts.
- The invoice shows paid-so-far and still-due, always
- Each payment posts on its own date, never lumped
- Reminders keep chasing the remaining balance
- Statements show the customer the same numbers you see
How it works
Open the invoice
Or start from the customer — Bokeping shows every open invoice they have, oldest first.
Record what arrived
Enter the amount and how it came in — card, bank, cash, or check. Partial amounts are fine.
Done — both sides post
The invoice balance drops, the bank account rises, and a receipt goes out if you want one.
FAQs
Fair questions
The invoice closes and the extra becomes visible credit on the customer’s account. Apply it to their next invoice or refund it — either way it’s on the books, not in your memory.
Yes. Record the payment once and split it across open invoices — useful when a customer sends one check for the month. Each invoice updates with its share, and the total has to match what actually arrived.
Online card and bank payments run through Stripe at Stripe’s standard rates — Bokeping adds no markup of its own — and each fee posts as its own expense line, so your income stays gross. Recording payments you took outside Bokeping — cash, check, or a plain bank transfer — is free on every plan, including Free.
