Get Started with Payments inside Aritic Sales CRM

Payments 

Aritic Sales CRM handles your entire freelance invoicing procedure– from sending a quotation, filing invoice to your client, to receiving payment. Moreover, you can accept payments directly and automatically via Aritic Sales CRM supported gateways that enable smooth management of your user accounts using your choice of the payment provider.

 Payments List

 Payments list page shows a summary of all payments once made. You can record payments in two manners: 

1. Automatic payment: It is the case when your client pays you via any of the supported payment gateways, that amount gets automatically recorded in the Payments list. You get a notification on your dashboard page in the notification fragment, and also via email (if you have enabled it).
2. Manual payment: It is the case when a client pays you via cash, check, credit card, bank transfer, or any other payment method not linked to Aritic Sales CRM, you will manually need to enter the payment on the Create page/Payments.

Whether manual entry or automatic or, the Payments list page shows all payments collected in a user-friendly table format view. Now, we will take you through the Payments table from left to right across the various columns: 

• Code: Transaction reference number.
• Client Name: Client’s name

Partial Payments 

The partial online payments received is simpler than you think. Your client has the option to enter an amount less than the invoice number while making an online payment. When the amount is successfully processed, it applies to the invoice, and the status of the invoice is updated as “Partially Paid.” There are three options a client can make a partial payment: 

1. Minimum Due: The user can choose to pay the minimum amount due to keep the account running
2. Full Amount: Client can make full invoice amount payment at one shot
3. Other Amount: Customer enters the payment amount in the input
