Payments
RoutePilot supports collecting payment online via payment links and recording payments collected on-site or outside the system.
Payment Links
Payment links let customers pay invoices online using a credit or debit card.
When a customer pays via a payment link:
- The payment is processed automatically
- The invoice status updates to Paid
- A payment receipt is sent to the customer's email
Payment links are generated per-invoice and expire after a set period.
Sending a Payment Link
From an invoice:
- Click Send Payment Link
- Choose delivery: include in invoice email, or copy the link to share directly
- The customer follows the link to complete payment
You can also copy the payment link and send it via SMS manually if the customer prefers a text.
Recording On-Site Payments
If a technician collects cash, check, or processes a card on-site:
- Open the invoice
- Click Record Payment
- Select the payment method
- Enter the amount
- Save
Recorded payments update the invoice status immediately.
Partial Payments
For large jobs or customers on payment plans:
- Click Record Payment
- Enter the partial amount
- The invoice status changes to Partial
- Repeat until the balance is zero and the invoice shows Paid
The AR Dashboard
Unpaid and overdue invoices appear in the Accounts Receivable dashboard (Billing → AR).
The AR dashboard shows:
| Bucket | Description |
|---|---|
| Current | Invoices due within 30 days |
| 31–60 days | Invoices 31–60 days past due |
| 61–90 days | Invoices 61–90 days past due |
| 90+ days | Invoices more than 90 days past due |
Use the AR dashboard to identify and follow up on overdue accounts.
Tip
Send payment link reminders from the AR dashboard with one click for invoices that are past due. Customers are more likely to pay when the link is easy to find.
