Get paid and record it

Record payments so your balances, receipts, and reports stay accurate — or let customers pay online.

Getting started

When a customer pays, record it in Papertools so your balances, receipts, and reports all stay accurate.

Record a payment

  1. Open the invoice and choose Record payment.
  2. Enter the amount and date, and pick the method — Bank, Card, Check, or Cash.
  3. Save.

Partial payments are fine: enter whatever was paid and the balance updates automatically. Once the full amount is in, the invoice flips to Paid on its own.

Every payment you record produces a receipt you can send straight to the customer.

Let customers pay you online

On the Business plan and up, connect Stripe and add a Pay online button to your invoices. Your customer pays by card, the payment records itself, and the receipt goes out automatically — no manual step at all.

The money goes straight into your own Stripe account, and Papertools takes no cut. See Connect Stripe and Let customers pay online.
