Receive pay (incoming payments)
Receive pay is where you record payments from tenants (e.g. rent, fees) and allocate them to invoices or charges. This keeps your receivables and tenant balances up to date.Where to find it
- Sign in to the app.
- In the sidebar, open Finance → Receivables → Payments (Incoming). Some setups may show Receive pay as a separate menu item.
- You’ll see options to record a new payment or view payment history.
Recording a payment
Open incoming payments
Go to Finance → Receivables → Payments (Incoming), or Receive pay if that appears in your menu.
Enter payment details
Select the tenant (or lease), enter the amount and date, and choose the payment method (e.g. bank transfer, cash, mobile money).
Allocate to invoices
Apply the payment to one or more invoices (e.g. rent for a specific period). The app will update the invoice balance and the tenant’s statement.
Allocating across multiple invoices
If a payment covers more than one invoice, use the allocation step to split the amount across the relevant invoices. Partial allocations are supported so you can clear invoices in order or match the tenant’s instructions.Managing refunds from a payment
You can now manage refunds directly from a payment’s detail screen:- Open Payments and select the payment record.
- Expand Refunds.
- Use Add refund to create a new refund entry.
- Use the action buttons to Edit or Delete an existing refund.
