# Apply wallet credit to an invoice

> Use money already sitting in a student's wallet to pay down one of their invoices.

Use a student's wallet balance to pay an invoice, instead of waiting for them to pay in cash or by card. For the wallet itself — topping it up, adjusting it, or how it's used automatically — see [student wallet](/en/admin/students/student-wallet).

By default, owners and admins can apply wallet credit to an invoice.

<Note>
  Don't see this page or button? Your role doesn't include it. Ask your center's owner or an admin to give you the role you need. See [I can't see a menu item or button](/en/troubleshooting/cant-see-a-menu-item-or-button).
</Note>

## Before you start

* The invoice must be **Unpaid**, **Partial** or **Overdue** — not **Draft**, **Paid** or **Void**.
* The student needs a balance greater than zero. Check it on the student's **Wallet** tab.

<Note>
  If your center's billing policy has **Auto-apply wallet credit** turned on, Cohort already does this automatically for invoices it generates. Use this for an invoice that wasn't covered automatically — one you created by hand, or one issued before the student topped up.
</Note>

## Steps

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the invoice">
    In the sidebar, select **Invoices**, then select the invoice.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Apply the credit">
    Select **Apply wallet credit**. Cohort shows the **Wallet balance**, the **Amount due**, how much **Will be applied**, and what's **Left in wallet** — it applies whichever is smaller, the whole balance or the amount due.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Confirm">
    Select **Apply wallet credit**.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Warning>
  Applying wallet credit can't be undone, and a wallet payment can't be refunded. If the student paid you in cash or by card for this invoice, select **Record payment** instead.
</Warning>

If the student has no wallet balance, Cohort tells you instead of applying anything.
