How do I set up an invoice so a customer can make installment payments?

Hello,

 

A couple different way's you can do this.

 

1. If you have progress invoicing you can create an estimate and then setup progress invoicing to create an invoice for a dollar amount or % of the estimate and send those to your customer to pay.  It will be a separate invoice for each payment.

 

2. You can create the invoice as normal and when they pay a portion, it will leave the rest of the invoice open.  Then you can email that same invoice to them and it will only show the open balance.  As they keep making payments on that same invoice, the open balance will decrease lower and lower till they make the final payment and it closes out the invoice.

How do I set up an invoice so a customer can make installment payments?

Thanks for asking the Q and the Answer. What if, the corporate client needs to pay both installments (50% as deposit on Day of Invoice and the remainder 50% on Day of Service) with a Corporate Credit Card? Since I've been been on the client's end, I dont' know what they see in the Quickbooks Online Invoice and IF they would be able to enter card info on *their* end (rathern than me calling them up for the card info & enter it on *my* end).

 

Sum up, my Question is: Does client have a way to pay 50% of the invoiced amount w their credit card by entering the card info *on their end*?

 

Thanks in advance!

Hello there, @bonnyspeaks.

 

Let me share some information when paying an invoice in QuickBooks Online. 

 

When you receive an invoice you can pay 50% of the amount and the rest will remain. Your vendor can send you again an invoice with the remaining 50% balance. This will apply if your vendor has QuickBooks Payments Account. Also, you’ll get an option to pay by Credit Card, Debit Card, or ACH Bank Transfer.

 

In this article, you’ll find other ways when paying invoices in QuickBooks Online. QuickBooks Payments.

 

Please let me know if you need further assistance with QuickBooks Payments. I am here to help. Keep safe.
