Mark an invoice as paid

In short

Click the invoice’s status badge and choose Mark as paid. Zetrr records the full invoice amount as received, sets the balance to zero and adds today’s payment date. Recording a payment doesn’t move money: you collect it by bank transfer, UPI or however you agreed with your client.

Zetrr Invoice keeps track of who has paid. It doesn't collect or process payments itself: your client pays you directly, and you record it here.

Mark an invoice as paid#

  1. Open the invoice, or find it on the Invoices list.
  2. Click its status badge (Change invoice status).
  3. Choose Mark as paid.
  4. In Mark this invoice as paid?, click Mark as paid.

Zetrr records the full invoice amount as received, sets the balance to zero and dates the payment today, in your own time zone. If the invoice didn't have a number yet, it gets one now.

What each status means#

  • Draft: not issued yet, with no invoice number.
  • Sent: you've sent it to the client. Choosing it creates a public link if there isn't one.
  • Viewed: set automatically when someone opens the link of a Sent invoice.
  • Paid: the full amount is recorded as received.
  • Overdue: shown automatically when a Sent or Viewed invoice passes its due date unpaid. You don't choose it.
  • Cancelled: kept in your list for your records, but counted as zero in every total.

You choose Draft, Sent, Mark as paid or Cancelled. Only an issued invoice can be cancelled; delete a draft instead.

Undo a payment#

If you marked an invoice as paid by mistake, choose another status. Zetrr asks Change this paid invoice? because this clears the recorded payment and restores the full outstanding balance.

Editing a paid invoice#

If you edit a paid invoice so its total goes up, it moves back to Sent, because the client now owes the difference. Zetrr won't let you lower the total below the amount already recorded as paid.

Where payments show up#

The Invoices list shows Total Billed, Received, Pending and Overdue. Use the status tabs, such as Paid or Overdue, to filter the list. For money in and out over a month or a year, see See what you earned by month.

Questions

Does Zetrr Invoice collect payments from my clients?

No. Invoice records invoices, payment details and payment status. Recording a payment doesn’t move money. Your client pays you by the bank account, UPI ID or QR shown on the invoice, or however you agreed.

Which date does a payment count on?

The day you mark the invoice as paid, in your own time zone. Your income report uses that date, not the invoice’s issue date.

Can I cancel a paid invoice?

Yes. Cancelling a paid invoice clears the recorded payment and keeps the invoice under Cancelled, out of every total.
