There are several ways to record a payment in CoreBridge. You can record a payment to a single invoice or multiple invoices. You can also record an over-payment and the overage will go directly into the in-store credit account for the customer. And your customers can use their customer portal to enter payments themselves.

All of this can be done in the Sales Module of CoreBridge with the exception of payments processed through the Customer Portal.

This article covers the following topics:

• How to record a payment from the Order View page

How to record a payment from the Customers > Payments page

The Customers > Payments provides the most powerful tools for recording payments. From this page you can record a payment on a single invoice or multiple invoices. You can also record an over-payment from this page.

• Multi-payments CANNOT be recorded across multiple locations.

Navigate to the Customers > Payments page.

1. Enter the customer name in the Find Customer field. All of their open invoices will populate below.
2. Enter the payment amount in the Payment Amount field.
3. Select one or more invoices to record the payment against using the check boxes on the left-hand side.
4. Adjust the Payment Amount for each invoice as needed.
5. If an over-payment exists it will be displayed at the bottom in red.
6. After verifying your entry, click the Select Payment Method button at the bottom right of the page. A new modal will display where you can finalize the method details and record the payment.

You can then process a refund to an in-store credit after the online credit card payment has batched.

2. Select the invoices you wish to pay using the check boxes on the left side.
3. Verify the Payment Amount for each invoice and adjust as needed.
4. Click the Make Payment button at the bottom right of the page. A popup window will appear.

   • CMS Slyce Integration users will see this window. They should fill in the necessary details and click Pay to process the payment.
     
     
6. Upon successful posting of the payment the Total Paid and Balance Due amounts on the order will be updated.
