You can record payments for any House Account directly from your Reports section. Use the steps below to enter the payment, allocate it to open orders, and generate a receipt.


Step 1. Open the House Accounts Report

  1. In your Lovingly Account, go to Reports.

  2. Select House Accounts.

You will see your full list of accounts on the left. Accounts with an outstanding balance will appear in the main panel.


Step 2. Open the Account and Select Collect Payment

  1. Click the House Account you want to update.

  2. In the top right corner, select Collect Payment.

This opens the payment entry screen where you can record the payment and allocate funds.


Step 3. Enter the Payment Details

At the top of the Payment page:

  1. Choose the payment type (Cash or Check) from the dropdown menu.

  2. Add any notes if needed.

  3. Enter the total amount received from the customer.


Step 4. Allocate the Payment

In the Open Orders section, apply funds from the Unallocated Balance to specific orders.

  • If the account is paying in full, enter the exact amount for each order.

  • If partial payments are being made, apply amounts as needed.

The Unallocated Balance will update as you allocate funds.


Step 5. Process the Payment

When you are ready:

  1. Select Process Payment at the bottom of the screen.

  2. Choose the employee who accepted the payment.

  3. If paying by cash, enter the amount tendered.

  4. If paying by check, enter the check number.


Step 6. Review and Print or Email a Receipt

After processing, you will see:

  • Total amount received

  • Any change due (for cash payments)

  • Options to Print or Email a receipt
