    How to collect payment on a junk job in Dumpster Controls

    The drawer's "Payment Summary" section is the money control panel for one job: status, invoice, and the two ways to settle an unpaid balance.

    1. 1

      Read the summary

      "Payment Summary" shows the "Payment Status" badge, the "Payment Method", the "Price" (with an "Override" badge when it was manually set), any "Landfill Cost", and the "Total".

    2. 2

      Work with the invoice

      "View Invoice" opens the customer-facing invoice in a new tab and "Download PDF" prints it. The "Invoice" quick action in the drawer header opens the same document.

    3. 3

      Settle an unpaid job

      Unpaid jobs show two buttons: "Send Payment Link" emails or texts the customer a secure card payment link, and "Mark as Paid" records a manual payment (cash, Zelle, check) you already received.

    What happens next

    • Marking the job paid also marks the linked invoice paid, and the paid badge updates everywhere the job appears.
    • Card payments flow into Finances with the gross, fees, and your net broken out like any other order payment.

    Troubleshooting

    "Send Payment Link" is disabled.

    The job's invoice has not loaded or does not exist. Reopen the drawer; if it persists, use "Mark as Paid" for manual payments or contact support.
