2. Click the invoice for which you want to record a payment.
3. Click Take Card Payment (if using Stripe) or Turn on Card Payments (if you aren’t using Stripe but want to start) or Record Payment.
4. Enter the following information:
   

   Amount Received *	Enter the amount your customer paid towards this invoice.
