Take Bulk Payments

Modified on Mon, 7 Nov, 2022 at 3:49 PM

If you don't take payment automatically when you create invoices in bulk, you can save time and administrative work by taking payments for unpaid invoices from the Unpaid Invoices Report for clients who have a payment card on file and have checked "Allow Automatic Payment." These clients are indicated by a green "S" alongside their invoice amount.
