How to record a partial payment against an order

Written by JewelKhata Team • Updated 27 May 2026

Indian jewellers often take payment in instalments and across methods (some cash, some UPI, the balance later). JewelKhata stores each payment as its own ledger row so you can always answer "how much has this customer paid so far?".

  1. 1

    Open the order

    From the Orders tab, open the order.

  2. 2

    Find the Payments card

    On the order details screen, scroll to the "Payments" card.

  3. 3

    Tap Add

    The amount field is pre-filled with the remaining balance. You can change it to whatever the customer actually paid today.

  4. 4

    Choose method and date

    Pick cash, UPI, card, cheque, bank transfer or other. Date defaults to today.

  5. 5

    Save

    The payment is logged and the order balance updates instantly. The status badge changes to Partial or Paid.
