Billing and Payments — Frequently Asked Questions
Can I collect payment in instalments?
Yes. Record each payment separately using Record Payment. TailorMate tracks each payment and shows the remaining balance automatically.
What payment methods can I record?
You can record any payment method — cash, UPI, bank transfer, cheque, or other. TailorMate stores the method you choose alongside the payment amount.
Can I edit or delete a payment after recording it?
Open the order, scroll to the Payments section, tap the payment entry, and select Edit or Delete.
How is the outstanding balance calculated?
Outstanding balance = Order price − Total payments recorded. TailorMate calculates this automatically each time a payment is added.
Can I generate a bill before the order is delivered?
Yes. You can generate a bill at any stage of the order — useful for sharing an advance receipt with the customer.
What does a generated bill include?
A bill includes:
- Your shop name, address, and logo
- Customer name and phone number
- Garment type and order details
- Order price, amount paid, and balance remaining
- Date of bill generation
How do I share a bill with a customer?
After tapping Generate Bill, choose Share and select WhatsApp, SMS, or email. You can also save it as a PDF to your device.
Can I add a discount to an order?
You can manually adjust the order price to reflect a discount when creating or editing an order. A dedicated discount field is planned for a future update.
What if a customer overpays?
Record the full amount received. The payment history will show the amount paid versus the order price. Handle any refund outside the app and add a note to the order.
