Available methods to receive payments
ezyVet has many possible methods that you can use to receive a client payment.
Receive payment from a calendar appointment
You can receive payment directly from a calendar appointment after an applicable patient visit.
If a calendar appointment has an approved invoice that is related to the appointment, the appointment shows a dollar sign icon.
Figure 1 is an example of the New Payment dialog box shown after you select Pay Balance. The dialog box includes:
- Payment methods
- Approved invoices for the client that are not paid in the Record Allocation section
Receive payment directly from a payment record
If a payment has no related invoice, you can make a payment record and receive the payment directly as follows:
- Select the Financial primary tab.
- Select Payments.
- Enter the payment information in the New Payment screen.

You can use the method given in this section to receive a payment that is external of ezyVet (for example,a bank transfer). After you receive the payment, record it in ezyVet.
Automatically receive payment after you approve an invoice
After you approve an invoice, you can receive payment immediately. To receive the payment, use the New Payment dialog box that ezyVet usually shows after you approve the invoice.
