# Manually Add a Payment

In PaintScout, you can record payments received by cash, check, or electronic transfer directly on an invoice.

1\. Select **+Add/Request Payment** on the invoice and choose **Record Payment.**

2\. Enter the **payment method, the amount paid, and the payment date.** You may also leave a note regarding this payment, *such as a check number,* and mark this payment as a deposit if needed. When all details are entered select **Confirm.**
