If you need to send an invoice not related to an appointment for registration fees, supplies, tuition or even missed appointment payments just use our Payment Request Feature.

If your clients use a check, cash, paypal, venmo or another payment method to pay for appointments remember the purpose of Fons is to automate and consolidate all of your billing in one place saving you admin time not having to reconcile and account in several locations for payments, but as we know there will always be a clients that want to pay in another form.
