How do I deal with sales in 2019 but not paid out yet?

Hi, so part of my wholesale business involves a manufacturer/distributor, they have a website which clients can order my product from, the distro collects the money from the customer, deducts my manufacturing cost and pays out the rest to me, including any tax collected. 

I have had issues getting paid on a steady basis with them and so is the case here.  I have sales through them, they sent me the sales invoice up to and including Dec 31st 2019, but they have not transferred the funds to me as of yet (2020).  
So I am not sure how this is going to work, the sales technically took place in 2019 so am I on the hook for the GST and income (small proprietor) for 2019 or will I include it for 2020 once I actually get paid?
