Understanding the different invoice statuses

In the Issued invoices section, you'll notice 4 invoice status options:

📝 Draft: This status appears when an invoice is created and saved in your account but not emailed or downloaded yet.

❌ Unpaid: The invoice has been sent or downloaded, but the payment hasn't been marked as received. The status will remain as "unpaid" until the due date passes or the payment is confirmed.

⚠️ Overdue: This status will appear once the due date for the invoice has passed.

✅ Paid: To mark an invoice as paid, simply check the box indicating payment.

If the invoice is overdue, you can send a reminder email by clicking the email icon next to the invoice. Similarly, if the invoice is already paid, you can send a thank-you message with ease.

For more information on how to send reminders and thank-you messages using pre-set templates, refer to this guide.
