A check that hasn't cleared, or a transfer you haven't seen yet, can be kept on the order as pending.
Mark a payment pending
- Open the order's Payments window.
- Tick the Pending box on the payment's row.
Untick it once the money has arrived. Both take effect straight away.
You need the permission to mark payments as pending; without it the box is greyed (You do not have permission to do that.). Refunds and voided payments can't be marked pending.
What pending means
- The payment stays in the table, so everyone can see it's expected.
- It doesn't count in the window's Total until it's unticked, so the money received isn't overstated.
- A pending payment that isn't cash can still be refunded.
