Cash and checks at the truck
Mark an invoice paid by cash or check before you pull away, so the balance is right the moment you leave.
Invoices & payments
Finish the job, send the invoice, see who still owes.
Pick a finished job and the invoice fills in from its price and your price book. Record cash and checks on the spot, and share each customer's own page, where they can see what they owe.
Desert Demo Electric is a sample shop in the real Aestar app. Each invoice has a pay link: customers pay by card once your shop connects Stripe.
What it does
Invoices from the job
Line items come from the job and your price book. Adjust, add a note, done. A draft stays a draft until you send it.
Cash and checks, recorded
Mark an invoice paid by cash or check and it comes off your who-owes list. Customers can also pay by card from the invoice's pay link.

Questions
Invoices & payments questions.
Can customers pay by card?
Yes. Connect Stripe once from Payments (Ava walks you through it) and every invoice gets a pay link. Customers pay by card, the money goes to your bank, and you can still record cash and checks.
Will Aestar take a cut of my payments?
No. You pay Stripe's standard processing rate and nothing extra to Aestar.
Can I invoice from my phone?
Yes. The Aestar app works in any phone browser, so you can write the invoice and record the check before you leave the driveway.
Where do I see who still owes?
In Collections: every unpaid invoice, oldest first, with reminders Ava writes for you to approve.
