Invoices, statuses and payments

Drafts are editable and have no number. When you send (or mark as sent without emailing), the invoice gets the next number in your sequence and its business and client details are frozen, so later edits to your profile don't rewrite issued invoices. Numbers are never reused or skipped.

Recording a payment smaller than the balance makes the invoice partially paid; paying the full balance makes it paid. Any open invoice whose due date has passed (UTC) becomes overdue. A credit note reduces the balance without a payment, for example after a refund or agreed reduction. Void cancels an issued invoice that has no payments; its number stays in the sequence.

We never process payments. Add your own payment link (from your payment provider) and instructions in Business settings; they appear on the invoice page and PDF.
