I am a florist and when I send an invoice is there a way to split the payment to different dates ? I need deposit first and then the rest a month prior to the event.

Thank you for posting here in the Community, floralbymathilde.

Yes, QuickBooks Online (QBO) allows you to divide invoice payments into multiple dates.

If your customer makes a deposit, you can record it as a partial payment on the invoice, and QBO will keep track of any remaining balance. Here’s how:

1. Click on the + New button and select Receive payment.
2. Choose the customer from the dropdown menu.
3. Select the Payment method from the dropdown.
4. In the Deposit To dropdown, click the account where you want to deposit the payment.
5. In the Outstanding Transactions section, check the box next to the invoice for which you're recording the payment.
6. Enter the partial payment amount in the Payment column.
7. Click Save and close.

Once done, the status will automatically update to Partial. To check the remaining balance for the customer, follow these steps:

1. Go to Reports.
2. Locate and open the Customer Balance Summary report.
3. Run the report to view the customer's open balance in the Total column.
