What this guide helps you do

Guide a customer (https://pixiecrm.com/help-centre/topic/customer) through invoice (https://pixiecrm.com/help-centre/topic/invoice) details, PDF download and available online payment (https://pixiecrm.com/help-centre/topic/payment) options. Pixie CRM keeps the result connected to the relevant customer (https://pixiecrm.com/help-centre/topic/customer), staff member and operational history where the feature supports those relationships. That connection is important for search, reporting, client portal (https://pixiecrm.com/help-centre/topic/client-portal) visibility and future automation.

Follow these steps

- Start from Client portal (https://pixiecrm.com/help-centre/topic/client-portal) → Invoices (https://pixiecrm.com/help-centre/topic/invoice) and open the relevant record or view.

- Verify that the record is in the correct status and that you have permission to perform the action.

- Check the related customer (https://pixiecrm.com/help-centre/topic/customer), dates, amounts, recipients and attachments before continuing.

- Select the action described by “Help a client (https://pixiecrm.com/help-centre/topic/customer) view and pay invoices (https://pixiecrm.com/help-centre/topic/invoice)” and complete the displayed options.

- Preview client (https://pixiecrm.com/help-centre/topic/customer)-facing content or the resulting document where Pixie CRM provides a preview.

- Verify the action and wait for the success message before leaving the page.

- Check (https://pixiecrm.com/help-centre/topic/check) the activity timeline, status, email (https://pixiecrm.com/help-centre/topic/email) queue, gateway or generated record to verify the outcome.
