As a rule, it takes so much time to find the correct payment and apply it to your invoice manually.<br>And here is where the question comes in: <strong>\u201cIs there a way to automatically apply payments to open invoices?\u201d<\/strong> Answering this question might look complicated. Probably, as something that requires reading infinite pages of those boring guides written for tech geeks in an incomprehensible language. However, the solution is simple.<br>Using Synder, you\u2019ll be able to <strong>close open invoices with synced payments in your accounting automatically<\/strong>. Let&#8217;s say, you get paid via Stripe and have multiple payments from different customers there. Instead of creating and applying payments one by one manually, you can set Synder to <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/synder.com\/help\/how-to-set-up-automatic-synchronization\/\" target=\"_blank\">auto mode<\/a>, and the system will auto-create and link Stripe (or PayPal, Square, Authorize.net, Afterpay, etc.) payments to open invoices in your books as soon as you collect the payment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Important notes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Ensure that the <strong>customer name matches 100%<\/strong> in your accounting and in Stripe (or other payment processors you collect invoice payments with), as Synder uses the customer details (<em>Customer name, Company name, Email<\/em>) to identify if there are any open invoices for this client.<\/li><li>If several invoices are opened for the same customer, Synder will try to find a matching invoice by the <em>amount<\/em> and apply payment <em>chronologically<\/em> from the oldest open invoice to the newest.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>To unlock this magic feature in your accounting and auto-apply payments to open invoices in your books, follow these simple steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Select the organization needed in the top left corner \u2192 open the <strong>Settings<\/strong>&nbsp;tab \u2192 choose the payment platform you want to customize settings for in the Integration dropdown.
