# How to Process Part Payments

Giggio allows you to accept **part payments** on invoices, helping clients pay in multiple instalments. Each time a payment is made, Giggio automatically tracks the balance, and sends a detailed receipt with the payment history.  
 

**Receiving a Part Payment**

You can receive part payments from either the **Invoices section** or the **Event page**. The process is the same.

1.  Go to **Invoices** and find the outstanding invoice.
2.  Click **Receive**.
3.  In the pop-up window:  
    -   Enter the **date** and **payment reference**
    -   Choose **“Custom Amount”**
    -   Enter the **amount paid**  
         
4.  Click **Receive**.
5.  When prompted, click **Yes** to send the client a receipt.  
      
    🧾 The receipt will show how much was paid, the remaining balance, and a full payment history for that invoice.  
     

**Viewing Remaining Balance and Tax Breakdown**

-   In the invoice table the list will now show the **remaining balance** underneath the total.
-   Giggio automatically calculates the tax breakdown based on the payment.  
    -   For example, a £500 payment on a 20% VAT invoice will be split into **£416.67 + £83.33 tax**.
-   All payments are logged in the **Reports** section.  
     

**Canceling or Removing a Payment**

If a payment was entered by mistake, you can correct it:

-   Go to **Invoices > All Invoices** and click **Cancel Payment** to remove the most recent payment on that invoice.  
     

**Receiving the Remaining Balance**

When you're ready to receive the final payment:

1.  Click **Receive** on the same invoice.
2.  Enter the **date** and **reference**.
3.  You can either:  
    -   Enter the **remaining amount manually**, or
    -   Select **“Full Balance”** and Giggio will automatically calculate the remaining amount.
4.  Click **Receive**, then **Send Receipt**.  
      
     

**What the Client Receives**

After each payment, the client receives:

-   A **receipt** showing:  
    -   Amount paid
    -   Remaining balance
    -   Payment history

Once the invoice is fully paid:

-   It moves from **Unpaid** to **Paid** status.
-   The client receives:  
    -   The final **receipt**
    -   A copy of the **original invoice marked as PAID** (if enabled in your settings)  
         

To enable/disable sending the paid-stamped invoice, go to **Settings > Email Templates** and check or uncheck the box **“Attach paid-stamped invoice”**.

**Summary**

Giggio’s part payment feature makes it easy to:

-   Track multiple payments
-   Automatically update tax and balances
-   Keep clients informed with receipts and payment history
-   Send a final paid invoice automatically
