# About Payments

A payment is an amount you receive from a client for the services you offer or products you sell, typically with regard to specific invoices you have sent. Tracking payment information helps you to stay updated about incoming revenue. You can add payments in two ways:

- By choosing Client > Add Payment.
- When working in the Account view, by clicking Add Payment.

Payments generally include the following information:

- The date of the payment
- The method of payment
- The amount of the payment
- Which invoice(s) the payment applies to
- A comment about the payment, if desired

When you make a payment for an invoice, the Account view for the client shows the payment. If a full payment is made for the amount charged in the invoice, Billings Pro puts a "Paid" stamp on the invoice. If only a partial payment is made, the invoice says "partial" when viewed in the Account view.

When a client has not paid within the set terms, their icon becomes red in the source list—so you won't forget that the client hasn't paid.
