Keep track of your invoices from sent to paid. Know exactly who owes you money and when to follow up.

#Invoice statuses

#View invoice status

1. Go to Invoices
2. See status badges on each invoice
3. Filter by status to focus on specific invoices

#Filter by status

Click status filters to see:

• Unpaid: All outstanding invoices
• Overdue: Need immediate attention
• Paid: Completed invoices

#Mark as paid

When you receive payment outside of Stripe:

1. Open the invoice
2. Click Mark as paid
3. Optionally add payment date and method

This updates your records without requiring online payment.

#Send reminders

For overdue invoices:

1. Open the overdue invoice
2. Click Send reminder
3. A reminder email is sent to your customer

Be professional but persistent. A friendly reminder often does the trick.
