Recording Manual Payments

Learn how to record an offline payment on an invoice and confirm the payment amount, method, date, and updated client balance.

Written by Naomi Sherman

Record an offline payment against the correct invoice with its amount, date, and method. Check the balance afterward.

Why this matters

The event invoice brings together what the client owes, what was requested, and what was received. Review the balance and provider result before changing a schedule, recording a payment, or promising a refund.

Before you start

Open the correct event and invoice. Confirm the existing balance and any recorded payments.

In Releventful

  1. Use Search Events to find the event, open its side panel, and choose Financials under Event Sections. Open the invoice, then click Add Payment in Payments.

  2. Enter the amount, date and offline payment method, then click Save.

  3. Reopen Payments to confirm the recorded amount and new balance; use the provider result for online payments instead.

A useful decision

A manually recorded payment updates an invoice record but does not charge a card. Auto-pay requires an eligible authorized payment method; a reminder asks for action instead of collecting money.

Check the result

Review the updated invoice, payment schedule, and client balance. Confirm live payment or refund results with the provider.

Important to know

Editing an invoice record is different from collecting or returning money. Confirm online payment or refund results with the configured provider.
