Payments

When a client pays an invoice (or part of it), you record the payment in Arkata to keep your billing records accurate.

Recording a payment

  1. Open the invoice
  2. Click Record Payment
  3. Enter the amount received and the date
  4. Save

Partial payments

If a client pays in instalments, record each payment separately. The invoice status will move to Partially Paid until the full amount is received, then automatically become Paid.

Payment history

Each invoice shows a list of all payments recorded against it, with dates and amounts. This gives you a clear picture of what’s been settled and what’s still outstanding.

Billing dashboard

The Billing Dashboard (accessible from the sidebar) gives you a firm-wide view of:
  • Outstanding invoices
  • Overdue payments
  • Total billed vs total received
  • Revenue by project or client
