How do I raise an invoice credit?

Credit notes are a simple way to this article, you will be guided through the process of raising a credit note against an invoice.

 

Tip: Opting to use credits instead of refunds means that no additional fees will be incurred.

 


Depending on how they are issued, credit notes can have two different outcomes:
  1. Credit raised against an outstanding invoice will be considered as a partial/full payment towards that invoice
  2. Credit raised against a reconciled (fully paid) invoice will be considered as an account credit

Account credit can be applied as follows:

  1. The credit will be automatically applied to the next invoice that is issued with auto-collect billing enabled
  2. Or if your customer has outstanding invoices which have not auto-collected, the credit can be manually applied by your customer. Their account credit can be found and applied when paying their invoice via their JoinIn account: https://app.joinin.online as demonstrated below:
