# Record a payment

> Record a cash, card or bank transfer payment against an invoice.

Record a payment when a student pays you in cash, by card, or by bank transfer, against one of their invoices. For money already sitting in the student's wallet, use [apply wallet credit](/en/admin/invoices/apply-wallet-credit) instead.

By default, owners and admins can record payments.

<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>

<Note>
  Click, Payme and Uzum aren't available for students to pay their invoices online yet. Until then, record every payment yourself, whichever way the student actually paid you.
</Note>

## Before you start

* The invoice must be **Unpaid**, **Partial** or **Overdue**. A **Draft** invoice has to be [issued](/en/admin/invoices/issue-an-invoice) first.

## Steps

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

  <Step title="Start recording the payment">
    Select **Record payment**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enter the amount">
    Enter the **Amount** — it defaults to the full amount due. Change it to record a partial payment.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose the method">
    Choose the **Method**: **Cash**, **Card** or **Bank transfer**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Confirm the date and notes">
    Confirm or change the **Date** — it defaults to today. Add **Optional notes** if you'd like.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save">
    Select **Record payment**.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
  If the amount is less than what's owed, the invoice's status becomes **Partial**. If it covers the full balance, the invoice becomes **Paid**. Paying more than what's owed adds the difference to the student's wallet as credit — see [student wallet](/en/admin/students/student-wallet).
