# How do I record an advance payment from my customers and apply them to their future invoices?

To record an advance payment for your customer:

*   Navigate to the _Customers_ module and select the customer against whom you wish to record an advance payment.
*   Click the **New Transaction** dropdown and select **Customer Payment**.
*   Enter the amount you have received as an advance.
*   Click **Save**.

This advance amount will now be available as credits that can be used for invoices that will be created in the future.

To apply the credits to an invoice:

*   Navigate to the _Invoices_ module.
*   Select the invoice.
*   Click **Apply Now** next to _Credits Available_.

The credits will be applied to the selected invoice.
