Understanding balances

Each customer has an account balance that’s automatically calculated from all their billing line items (charges, credits, and payments).
  • Negative balance (like -$150.00) - Customer owes you money
  • Zero balance ($0.00) - Account is paid in full
  • Positive balance (like $25.00) - Customer has a credit
The balance updates instantly whenever you add charges, credits, or record payments.
