As we release ST-63, we will sunset our Legacy Payments screen and will activate Payment Collections on your account. In preparation, we recommend you view our webinar recording from earlier this fall, found below, and explore our additional resources. Note, you will see a new payments screen at this time and you can continue to collect payments on invoices as usual, with the new ability to save them in other locations as well. To unlock additional features there are individual settings you can activate.
What is Payment Collections?
Payment Collections is designed to bring more efficiency to the way customers collect payments, manage deposits and credits, and process refunds. Since its release in July of 2020, we have continued to make feature updates to expand its functionalities. Activating this feature will allow your team to:
How do I get started?
Take our Academy Course or view the Knowledge Base, which provides a walkthrough of each feature. Additionally, you can view our webinar recording below for a full overview and demo. Once you have familiarized yourself with the features, you can toggle individual Payment Collections features in your account settings, under “Invoicing”. We strongly recommend you toggle on automated refunds at this time to simplify your refund workflow.
Why are we doing this?
We know payments are a large part of your workflow and Payment Collections was created to solve common pain points with Legacy Payments. We are confident these changes and new features will positively impact your day-to-day accounting workflows and efficiency.

@emilyramirez all the info, even though I know @schen probably already gave it to you!
@JessicaSmith - you are the greatest!
Is there a video released for this yet?
Hi @JoshAcevedo! We sent out an email yesterday with the webinar recording to everyone who had registered. It is uploaded here as well so you can always come back to this article to reference it.
The new collection button on the accounting tab is horrible. Legacy payments allowed you to type in a partial customer name (or invoice #) and it would auto find accounts with open balances. Then it would take you to the actual payment screen to apply payment. This new process is so much more complicated. Now I have to find the customer and the invoice to apply payment to. This is going to take a lot longer to post multiple payments whereas the legacy procedure was super quick. I used to be able to post 30-40 draft payments in a couple of minutes. This new way took 20 minutes!!! Not a fan!
Hi @ginahitc,
Thanks for the feedback, just to clarify, are we referring to the "Collect Payments" button on the Accounting screen? If so you can still find customers by partially typing in their name or invoice number, and applying payments to the open invoices as you are creating the record. I want to make sure I'm understanding the disconnect.
