# Record a payment on an invoice

Record a payment after you receive money by bank transfer, cash, or another offline method.

### Record the payment

1. Open the invoice.
2. Select **Record payment**.
3. Choose **Full balance**, **50%**, or **Custom**.
4. If you chose **Custom**, enter the amount received.
5. Check the **Payment date**.
6. Choose the **Payment method**, such as **Bank Transfer** or **Cash**.
7. Add optional details that will help your team identify the payment.
8. Check the amount carefully, then select **Record payment**.

### Check the result

Bundus adds the payment to the invoice and creates a receipt. If money is still due, the invoice changes to **Partially paid** and shows the new balance.

> **Check first:** Record only money you have actually received. If the amount, date, or method is wrong, use the invoice's payment correction action rather than recording a second payment to cancel it out.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://bundus.gitbook.io/help/invoices/record-an-invoice-payment.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
