Payment Collection

Simple Time helps you get paid faster with online payment collection and easy manual payment tracking.

Online Payments with Stripe

Simple Time integrates with Stripe to let your clients pay invoices online. When Stripe is set up:

• Clients see a Pay Now button on their invoice in the customer portal.
• They can pay with a credit card, debit card, or other payment methods supported by Stripe.
• Once the payment is processed, the invoice is automatically marked as paid.
• You receive the funds in your connected Stripe account.

To set up Stripe, go to Settings > Payments and follow the steps to connect your Stripe account. See the Payment Settings page for more details.

Marking an Invoice as Paid Manually

If a client pays you by check, cash, bank transfer, or any other method outside of Stripe, you can record the payment manually:

1. Open the invoice.
2. Click Record Payment.
3. Enter the payment amount and method.
4. Save.

The invoice status will update to reflect the payment.

Partial Payments

Simple Time supports partial payments. If a client pays part of the invoice amount, you can record the partial payment and the invoice will show the remaining balance. The invoice status will update to Paid once the full amount has been received.

Payment History

Every invoice keeps a record of all payments received. You can view the payment history on the invoice detail page to see when payments were made and by what method.
