ReferenceInvoice statuses

Invoice statuses

Every invoice carries a status, shown as a colored badge. The color is consistent everywhere in the app, so you can read a list at a glance. Each badge also always shows its label — nothing depends on color alone.

The statuses

StatusMeaning
DraftCreated but not sent. Editable and deletable.
SentDelivered to the client; waiting to be paid.
Partially paidSome of the balance has been recorded as paid.
Awaiting confirmationThe client reported paying; you haven’t confirmed it yet. Not the same as Paid.
PaidFully paid and confirmed.
OverduePast its due date and still unpaid.
CancelledVoided — no longer expected to be paid.
⚠️

Awaiting confirmation means your customer says they paid (through the in-app exchange or portal) and it’s waiting on your Confirm. The payment isn’t counted until you confirm it. See In-app exchange.

How an invoice moves

A typical path:

DraftSent(optionally) Partially paidPaid

Along the way:

  • A sent invoice that passes its due date becomes Overdue automatically.
  • If the client reports payment, it becomes Awaiting confirmation until you confirm (→ Paid) or reject (→ back to its prior state).
  • You can move most invoices to Cancelled; only a Draft can be deleted outright.

The colors

The palette mirrors weBiller’s “color as language” design — semantic colors appear only to signal money state:

  • Blue — sent / in progress
  • Amber — partially paid
  • Violet — awaiting your confirmation
  • Green — paid (money in)
  • Red — overdue (at risk)
  • Gray — draft or cancelled (inactive)
