Cash, card, transfer, cheque, credit: five methods, one view.

An invoice lives on after issuance: it stays pending, then a payment arrives (sometimes several), sometimes a delay, sometimes an overpayment. OstraOS tracks the whole timeline on the invoice itself and adjusts its business status in real time.
Five payment methods
- Cash: in-person cash payment.
- Card: card payment.
- Transfer: bank transfer (the most common for professionals).
- Cheque: cheque payment, with number and bank captured.
- Credit: applied through an available credit note.
Each payment captures the method, the date and an optional reference (cheque, transfer). The invoice automatically moves from Sent to Partial to Paid as payments come in, with no manual step.
Good to know
Several partial payments can accumulate on the same invoice until the total is covered. Handy for customers who pay in multiple instalments.
