Make an invoice payment

When you send an invoice through Wave, your customer receives an email with the subject line "Invoice # from [business name]." The email provides a summary of the amount due and the due date. If online payments are enabled, the email includes a Review & Pay button that allows them to view and pay the invoice.

You cannot manually process a bank payment. Customers must complete the payments through the invoice link sent.

To make a payment, your customer must:

  1. Click the Review & Pay button. Customers are then directed to a page with the payment options activated for that invoice.
  2. Choose the payment method: Credit or debit card, or Bank payment (EFT).
