Deposits before the job
Collect a deposit upfront and record it against the invoice. The invoice stays open showing the remaining balance — no need for a separate receipt or spreadsheet.
Feature
Deposits and partial payments on every invoice
Tradeify lets you record deposits and part-payments against any invoice — so you can track exactly what's been paid, what's still owed, and when the job is fully settled.
Progress payments on big jobs
Record multiple partial payments as the job progresses. Each payment updates the invoice status and running balance automatically.
Full payment history on the record
Every payment — cash, transfer, or card — is logged with the method and date. The full history lives with the invoice and customer record.
From deposit to final payment

Step 2

When the job is complete and the balance clears, mark it paid. The customer can receive a receipt email automatically.
FAQ
Can I record a deposit before starting the job?
Yes. Create the invoice and record a deposit against it straight away. The invoice stays open showing the remaining balance — it won't show as paid until the full amount is received.
How many partial payments can I record per invoice?
As many as needed. Each payment is logged with the amount, method, and date. The running balance updates automatically after each one.
Does the customer get a receipt for a partial payment?
When the final payment clears the full balance, the customer can receive a paid receipt email. Individual deposit receipts are visible in the invoice record.
