The payments widget on your home page gives you a clear overview of your expected payments for the current month, as well as the status of each payment—whether it's paid, processing, upcoming, or overdue.
This bird's-eye view helps you keep a firm grasp on your projected revenue, so there's never any financial surprises; allows you to quickly address any payment issues that come up; and even helps you plan ahead for your business.
You can even use the widget to review full invoices and quickly send payment reminders for upcoming or overdue payments.
Below, you’ll find definitions and calculation overviews for each section.
This month’s gross payments
The gross payment amount gives you a quick overview of your projected gross payments for the month, so you can address any issues early and confidently plan your business' finances.
The gross payment amount includes:
Paid payments (green): payments received so far this month, including tax and tip
Payments being processed (orange): submitted payments that are still being processed. ACH payments take 7-8 business days to move from processing to paid, while card payments will be moved to the paid stage instantly.
Upcoming payments (gray): payments expected to be paid this month, based on invoice due dates
Overdue payments (red): late payments with due dates from this month
These payments include:
Any discounts, taxes, or fees you’ve applied to invoices
These payments do not include:
Payment processing fees
Loan repayments
Disputes / chargebacks
✅ Note
If a file contains an invoice and contract, payments from that file will be included in this amount only once the contract is signed.
All overdue payments
The all overdue payments amount helps you understand which payments you may need to take action on.
This amount includes overdue payments from all sent invoices that come from booked files (signed contract or invoice with at least one completed payment) and projects regardless of their original due date—sending an invoice without a connected booked file or project will not make it overdue.
This widget also includes overdue payments from the current month.
Paid/processing, upcoming, and overdue tabs
These tabs allow you to dig deeper into each payment by listing individual payments, separated by payment status, from the current month.
Selecting a payment will open its invoice, so you can review the full context and take action on any payments that need your attention, such as sending a payment reminder or editing an invoice.

Why don't I see payments from every invoice I've sent?
The widget shows and calculates payments that have payment due dates in the current month. If you've sent invoices that only have due dates in past or future months, you will not see those invoices.
Additionally, if a file contains an invoice and a contract, payments from that file will be included only once the file is booked (aka the contract is signed).
