Understanding Payment Status

Every invoice in JobsPaid has a payment status that tells you exactly where things stand. Here is what each status means.

Invoice Statuses

Draft — Invoice created but not sent yet. Not visible to the customer.

Sent — Invoice delivered to the customer. Awaiting payment.

Viewed — Customer opened the invoice link (when tracking is available).

Partial — Customer has made a partial payment. The balance due is updated automatically.

Paid — Full payment received and confirmed. The invoice is closed.

Overdue — The invoice due date has passed and full payment has not been received. JobsPaid can send automatic reminders.

Cancelled — Invoice voided. No payment is expected.

Pending Confirmation — Customer tapped "I Have Paid" on the invoice page. You need to confirm the payment from your dashboard.

How Status Updates

• Stripe payments — Status updates to Paid automatically when the payment clears
• Bank transfers / cash — Customer marks as paid, then you confirm in the dashboard
• Manual — You can update status manually by opening the invoice and tapping Mark as Paid

Filtering by Status

In Dashboard → Invoices, use the filter buttons (All / Sent / Paid / Overdue) to quickly see only the invoices that need attention.

Payment Status vs Invoice Status

Payment status is the financial state of the invoice. Invoice status (draft, sent, cancelled) refers to whether it was delivered. Both are shown on every invoice.
