As promised, we've continued making design changes to provide you with the ultimate user experience. The following changes are what you'll see in this release.

Invoices

The newly designed invoice has all the same functions you're used to, laid out in a more functional way. We've utilized the sidebar to display the invoice summary beside the invoice items.

Payments

The payment screen now features a more seamless flow, including the invoice summary in the sidebar to view alongside the invoice details. Process payments in a few easy steps:

  1. Select a payment type

  2. Enter the payment amount

    (Toggle on Pay all Invoices or enter a custom amount and choose the amounts to apply to open invoices listed below in that section)

  3. Check Out!

If using Shepherd Pay, select the payment method in Step 3 as shown below:
