The customer’s money balance provides an easy way to record the customer’s prepayments, over- and underpayments, refunds, or specific charges and automatically apply them towards their next invoice.

Manage customer’s money balance

Administrators can view and manage the customer’s money balance in the customer’s profile. There are two ways to make adjustments to the customer’s money balance.

1. Automatic increase by issuing a credit note

  • If you issue a credit note on an invoice with “Paid” status and choose the Customer balance in the Add credit option property, it will automatically add the credit amount to the customer’s money balance, which will be applied to their next invoice.
  • If you issue a credit note for an invoice that already has an applied balance, and the total credit amount (credit note amount + previously applied balance) becomes greater than the invoice’s total, the difference is automatically added to the customer’s “Money balance” to be applied to their next invoice.

2. Manual adjustments by administrator

Administrators can also manually adjust the customer’s balance to add or deduct funds.
  1. Navigate to the customer’s profile.
  2. Next to the “Money balance”, click the Adjust balance and select the adjustment type.
  3. Enter the “Amount” to be added or deducted.
  4. Type a reason in the “Internal note” field. This helps your administrator team to track and recognize this adjustment later.
Money balance can be positive or negative.
Customers don’t receive notifications about adjustments made to their balance.

How money balance works

When the customer’s next invoice is issued, the money balance is automatically applied to its total post-tax amount due. It is reflected on the invoice as “Applied balance”. If the money balance is higher than the invoice total, the invoice will be fully covered, and the remaining balance will roll over to cover the subsequent invoices.
Applied balances on invoices do not currently sync to QuickBooks and Xero. To ensure your records are accurate, please adjust these invoices manually within your QuickBooks or Xero dashboard.
