Automatic Payment Reconciliation

When enabled (₦500 fee per invoice): Customer pays invoice → Payment processor notifies Vendex → Invoice automatically marked as 'Paid' → Receipt generated and sent → Transaction recorded → Account balance updated

Manual Payment Recording

For payments received outside the platform:

  1. Navigate to Invoices > Sent and locate invoice showing 'Pending' or 'Overdue'

  2. Click invoice to open details and click "Record Payment" button

  3. Enter payment details: amount received, payment date, method (Transfer, Cash, Check), reference number, notes

  4. Click "Confirm Payment" and invoice status updates to "Paid"

Partial Payments

For installment invoices, record each payment as received. System tracks amount paid to date, balance remaining, payment schedule, and next payment due date. Invoice shows 'Installment' status until fully settled.
