How do you apply a check from a customer who has paid in avance for products?

Hello there, @cbanotai.

Yes, you create an invoice to link the advance payment made from your customer.

In QuickBooks Online, you can utilize the Receive Payment feature to apply the check from your customer who made a prepayment. Here's how:

First, make sure you've recorded your customer in your QBO account. If not yet, go to Sales and select Customers to enter their information. 

Create an invoice. Then, follow these steps:

1. Select + New. 
2. Select Receive Payment. 
3. Create a receive payment by select a customer using the dropdown arrow.
4. Select Check under the Payment method field.
5. Under the Account column, select the invoice.
6. Then, enter the amount of payment received select Save and New.
