Payment Methods: Cash, Check, Card, Transfer

JobsPaid supports tracking all the ways contractors get paid. Here is how to record each payment type.

Cash

The simplest payment. After receiving cash:

1. Open the invoice → Record Payment → Cash
2. Enter amount and date
3. Save — the invoice updates to Paid

Always issue a receipt for cash payments. Go to the invoice and tap Send Receipt after recording.

Check

Record check payments the same way as cash, but select Check as the method. Note the check number in the notes field for your records. Wait until the check clears your bank before marking the invoice as fully paid.

Card (Online via Stripe)

If you have Stripe connected, customers can pay directly from the invoice link — no action needed from you. The invoice updates to Paid automatically when the payment clears.

Bank Transfer / ACH

For larger jobs, some customers prefer to send a bank transfer (ACH/wire). Share your bank account details via Settings → Payments → Bank Info. After confirming the money arrived:

1. Open the invoice → Record Payment → Bank Transfer
2. Enter amount and date

"I've Paid" Button (Customer Self-Report)

When customers tap "I Have Paid" on the invoice page, the status changes to Pending Confirmation. You need to verify the payment (check your bank) and then confirm it from the invoice in your dashboard.

Mixed Payments

Some customers pay a cash deposit upfront and the balance by card. Record the cash deposit as a partial payment, then record the card payment when received. The invoice tracks the running balance automatically.
