Mucka doesn't connect to your bank account, so payments need recording when they land. It's quick: one tap from the invoice list opens a payment window with everything pre-filled.
Ask Mucka
Open Mucka and say:
"Walker just paid the £180 invoice by bank transfer."
Mucka pulls up the invoice, drafts the payment record and shows it for you to approve. One tap, the invoice flips to paid.
Or use the form
From the Invoices page, find any invoice with status sent, partially paid or overdue and tap Paid. The payment window opens with:
- Amount: defaults to the remaining balance (override for partials)
- Method: Bank Transfer, Card, Cash, Cheque, Direct Debit or Other
- Date: defaults to today
- Notes: reference number, who paid, anything useful
Save and Mucka updates the invoice.
Partial payments
Big jobs often get paid in stages. Just type the amount that's landed and pick the method. Mucka:
- Flips the status to partially paid
- Updates the remaining balance shown on the invoice
- Keeps a separate row for each payment so you can see the full history
Record more payments against the same invoice over time. When the balance hits zero, status flips to paid and Mucka stops chasing it.
What gets tracked
Each payment record has:
- Amount (full or partial)
- Method (which of the six types above)
- Date the money landed
- Notes (your reference, their reference, anything useful)
This builds up over time into a payment-method breakdown on the client's profile, useful for understanding how a client likes to pay.
Common gotchas
- Refunding a payment. Not built as a one-tap action yet. For now, delete the payment record and re-record correctly, or add a negative payment with a note.
- Bank reconciliation. Mucka doesn't auto-match payments to bank statements. Match them yourself when reviewing the bank feed.
- Wrong invoice. If you record a payment against the wrong invoice, delete the payment record from the invoice and re-record on the right one.
- Stripe / one-tap online payment links. Coming. Today, all payments are collected outside Mucka and recorded by you.
