Collecting Payments for Completed Jobs

The following guide will explain how you will collect payments for your invoices.

There are 2 types of payments within FlatRateNOW, Deposit/Progress Payment and Final Payments.

As the name suggests, you will use the Deposit/Progress payment to capture and record a payment against the job. This can be complete as a dollar amount or percentage amount.
