How to Mark a PayPal Invoice As Paid

PayPal gives your business flexibility in the way you accept and manage payments from clients and customers. PayPal enables you to send an invoice to customers and view invoices that have been paid or are past due. If a buyer sent you money for a purchase, you can mark the invoice as paid for your records. Marking an invoice as paid helps you to keep transactions organized and lets you know who still owes you money.

1. Browse to the PayPal website and sign in to your account.
2. Click the "Request Money" tab, and then click "Manage Invoices."
3. Click the drop-down menu in the Action column, and then select "Mark as Paid." A window opens displaying the invoice date, number and amount.
4. Select a payment method, and then click the "Calendar" icon in the Payment Date field. Select the date the payment was made.
5. Enter a note about the payment, if desired, in the Note field.
6. Click "Save." The invoice will now display "Marked as Paid" on the Manage Invoices page.
