Question

Recently two of my invoices show that they are still due but I received emails saying they were paid and I see the money in my bank?

Other invoices are noted that they are paid at the same time. Why is this happening to some invoices?

If your customer paid directly through an external bank transfer instead of using the invoice payment link, QuickBooks Self-Employed cannot automatically match the deposit to your open invoice. However, you can manually mark the invoice as paid.

 

Follow these steps to update the status:

 

  1. In the left menu, choose Invoices.
  2. Locate the invoice and select the small arrow ▼ icon in the Action column.
  3. Select Mark as paid.

 

If your customer used the payment link on the invoice, a temporary system sync delay is likely causing this issue. Intuit Merchant Services sends a payment confirmation email as soon as the card or transfer processes, but the status inside QuickBooks Self-Employed may take a short time to update.
