Square Mobile App can't mark invoice as paid

Marcohere — Sat, 21 Feb 2026 04:46:00 GMT

on the desktop it is easy to do, just click invoice and then "mark as paid" but in the Mobile App there is no such option. Please help.

All I see is "take payment" but not "mark as paid." Again, this is the Mobile App that has the problem, not the Desktop. And I have Android.

Hello @Marcohere !

With the mobile devices, it’s implied that you’re physically accepting a payment from the customer. Tapping Take Payment will take you to a list of payment options (card, check, cash, etc) you can choose from. Once you choose your payment method the invoice will automatically be marked as paid on the system.

Ok, I thought @ryanwanner was correct on this but to double check I went to my app and tried to mark an open invoice paid. There isn't an option from the invoice tab. If they paid by card it will automatically mark it paid but if you are trying to apply a cash payment it looks like you have to go to the Desktop.

I'm going to reply to my own question because I figured it out. I think another person also answered it but it wasn't clear the way he explained it.

In Mobile App, you won't find the phrase "Mark Invoice Paid" like you do with the Desktop App. However, you can essentially do the same thing.

To Mark an Invoice as Paid, in the Mobile App, select the invoice and then scroll down to "Take Payment."
Then select "Remaining Amount" and click "Next"
Scroll to the bottom and click "More"
Now you can choose Payment Type, i.e. Check, etc. Since I get a lot of Zelle payments, I'll click "Other Payment Types."
Now I can enter a note just like the desktop, i.e. "paid on march whatever using Zelle, Thank you!" etc. etc.
Finally you should get the message "Payment Recorded."
