Overview
This article explains how to confirm that a customer's payment has been received and recorded. The method you use depends on how the customer made their payment — either through AlarmPayments.com or by check.
For Payments Made Via AlarmPayments.com
Use the customer's Invoice History to check for a pending transaction indicator.
- Go to the customer's account.
- Click Invoice History.
- Check for a blue "A" next to the invoice. This indicates a pending transaction.
⚠️ IMPORTANT
A blue "A" icon indicates a pending transaction — it does not necessarily confirm a completed payment. Monitor the account to verify the transaction settles successfully.
For Payments Made Via Check
There are two reporting methods available to confirm a check payment. Use whichever best fits your needs.
Method 1: Check Ledger
- Click Reports.
- Click the Financial Tab.
- Select Check Ledger.

- Enter the Date Range.
- Enter the Check Number.
- Check the Prepaid Credit Box.
- Click Run Report.
Method 2: Cash Receipts
- Click Reports.
- Click the Financial Tab.
- Select Cash Receipts.

- Enter the Date Range.
- Filter for the specific customer.
- Click Run.
