How Partial Payments Work
Overview
Diamond Operations Pro supports partial payments, both online (via Stripe) and manually (cash, check, Zelle, bank deposit, other).
Partial payments decrease the invoice balance until the total is fully covered.
Online Partial Payments (Stripe Checkout)
Customers can enter any amount they want to pay.
Online partial payments:
- Are processed by Stripe automatically
- Are recorded instantly
- Update the invoice balance in real time
- Keep the invoice in Partially Paid status
- Allow multiple partial payments until paid in full
Manual Partial Payments (Recorded by Admin)
Admins can manually record partial payments using:
- Cash
- Check
- Zelle
- Bank deposit
- Other
To record a partial manual payment:
- Open the invoice
- Click Record Payment
- Enter an amount lower than the full balance
- Save
The invoice updates to:
- Partially Paid
- New balance displayed automatically
Example
Invoice total: $250.00
Customer pays:
- $100.00 online (card) → balance becomes $150.00
- $50.00 cash recorded manually → balance becomes $100.00
- $100.00 ACH online → invoice becomes Paid
