Manual payment tracking for tradies

ProperTradie tracks payments — it does not process card payments. Record cash and bank transfers, review customer-reported payments, and see what is still owing on every invoice.

What it is

Payment tracking in ProperTradie records manual payments against invoices: bank transfer, cash and other methods. Invoice status updates based on confirmed payments. Customers can report a payment from the public invoice link for your review.

Why tradies need it

Most tradie jobs are paid by bank transfer or cash, not card terminal. Without a clear record, you forget who paid a deposit, which invoice is part-paid, and what still needs chasing.
