Paying open invoices

Quick Tutorial Full Training

Staff users can pay open invoices from user account pages, or directly from the invoice summary. Members and organizations are able to pay open invoices directly from their own user or organization profile page.

If you are a staff user with On behalf of privileges, you can view and pay open invoices for any contact. If you are a Company Administrator, you can view and pay open invoices for your organization and for members of your organization.

Open invoices for orders, events, and sales transactions are displayed in the Open invoices section on the Transactions tab. Renewal membership invoices are displayed in the Cart after a user clicks Renew Now.

Organizations can restrict the invoices that are displayed by selecting a specific financial entity, invoice type or invoice due date. Once specified, only the open invoices for the selected financial entity will appear. See Open Invoice List Display for more information.
