Invoices in Zoey

In Zoey, an Invoice is a request for payment from your customer. The Invoice contains the Items, Prices, Quantities, and other Order Totals to be paid by the customer. You can have multiple Invoices for one Order, and an Invoice may have more than one Payment applied to it. Unpaid Invoices can be edited to adjust the totals and item prices.

Customers paying with Credit Cards or ACH during checkout are invoiced and charged automatically. If your customers place orders using Net Term their orders can be invoiced automatically through Invoicing Automation. Admins can make flexible payments against the Invoices, or take Deposits before the order is Invoiced.

The details of your customer's Payments, Refunds, and Deposit transactions are recorded and linked to the Invoice and displayed under Linked Transactions.

How to Invoice an Order

There are a few ways that your Orders can be Invoiced:

• Invoices can be created manually on an Order. This enables you to Request Deposit and to set the charges for your customer to pay.
• Payment Methods may create and pay Invoices on the Order.
• Invoicing Automation can create the Invoice or send the Invoice by email when the rule's criteria is met.
• Integrations such as ShipStation can automatically create Invoices for your orders.

Creating the Invoice

Orders can be manually invoiced by clicking Invoice at the top of your Order.

Request Deposit

A Deposit payment can be requested from your customer on an Invoice by checking off Request Deposit and entering the Deposit amount.

The customer will be made to pay this Deposit amount on its own before the rest of the invoice can be paid.

Deposit amounts, and whether they have been paid, can be reported on through the Invoice grid. Add columns like Deposit Request Collected and Deposit Requested to the grid to see those details.
