Split an invoice into payment stages
Break a large invoice into a deposit and progress payments the client can pay one at a time.
For bigger jobs you can split an invoice into stages — for example a deposit up front, a progress payment partway through, and the balance on completion. Payment stages are available on the Pro and Business plans.
When an invoice has stages, the client payment page shows the next stage that is due rather than the whole total, with the option to pay the full balance instead if they prefer.
- Stages are paid off in order — once one is settled, the next becomes the amount due.
- Clients can pay a stage by card, or you can record a manual payment against a specific stage.
- The invoice is only marked paid in full once every stage is covered.
When you record a manual payment on a staged invoice, choose the matching stage first so it is credited to the right one.
