Invoice clients and record payments

Create event invoices, collect online or offline payments, send reminders, and track balances.

  1. 1

    Open event billing

  3. 3

    Review the draft

    Confirm client, currency, dates, and total before sending.

  4. 4

    Send the invoice

    Use Send to make the public invoice available and queue the client message.

02

Collect and record payments

The event can combine online collection with payments received outside Qubold.

  1. 1

    Share the payment page

    The client can open the invoice link and pay the amount due when online payment is available.

  2. 2

    Record offline collection

    Add cash, bank transfer, or another external payment to keep balances correct.

  3. 3

    Verify allocation

    Connect the payment to the appropriate invoice whenever possible.

  4. 4

    Review the remaining balance

    The event and customer profile update the collected and outstanding totals.

03

Follow up on unpaid balances

Use manual reminders or automation to make collection consistent without losing the personal client relationship.

  1. 1

    Review the due date

    Check sent and overdue invoices from the event or customer record.

  2. 2

    Send a reminder

    Use the invoice action to resend the payment link.

  3. 3

    Automate standard reminders

    Create a payment-reminder rule in Communications when your process is predictable.

  4. 4

    Confirm paid status

    Make sure successful or recorded payments are reflected before final delivery.

Studio tips
  • Use clear due dates and payment notes on every invoice.
  • Do not record the same external payment twice.
