Delete a payment
For money that was recorded by mistake — nothing is refunded to anyone. If the customer really paid cash and you're giving it back, don't delete it: an admin records a cash refund instead, so the payment and the refund both stay on the order — see Refund or void a payment.
- In the order's Payments window, tick the payment and press Delete — or use the payment's ⋮ › Delete payment.
- Read what will happen and confirm with Delete $….
If it was the deposit, it no longer counts as a deposit paid; the order's status doesn't change. The Order Log keeps a line, for example Cash payment $500.00 received Sep 26 deleted by ….
You need the permission to delete payments. Only payments recorded by hand can be deleted — cash, check, credit record and your own payment types:
- A card payment charged through MoveBoard can never be deleted. Refund it, void it, or transfer it to another order.
- A refund cannot be deleted on its own. / A voided payment cannot be deleted.
- This payment has already been refunded.
Transfer a payment to another order
When a payment landed on the wrong order — card charges included.
- Press the payment's ⋮ › Transfer to another order. (Admins only.)
- Pick the order from This customer's other orders, or search by order number, name, email or phone.
- Read the preview — for example The cash payment of $500.00 moves from order #1001 to order #1002 — and press Move payment.
Both orders' received totals change by the same amount.
A payment can't be moved when:
- it was taken by the crew on the bill of lading or the closing (it stays with that job);
- it's a storage payment (it belongs to the storage account);
- it's a refund or a voided payment;
- the order it's going to is completed;
- a refund of it is still being recorded (try again in a minute).
