Hello Andrewkerr81,
You can record these payments through a sales receipt. You can also set up a cash account through your chart of accounts to show you receiving the payment in cash rather than straight to your bank, which you will then be able to select when recording the sales receipt.
To set up the account, go to accounting, chart of accounts and 'new'. Select cash at bank and in hand, and then cash in hand.
Thanks,
Talia
