# How to Make Invoice Payments

## Pay invoices directly from the Unpaid Invoices tab by clicking the “PAY” button.

### Select a Payment Method

- **ACH** is the default payment method.
- To switch to **Credit Card**, click the current method and select Credit Card from the dropdown.
- If Credit Card is unavailable, your supplier does not accept it for that invoice.
- Any **credit card surcharges** will be shown clearly.

### Sending a Payment

- Select the **Pay** action
- Choose the invoices you’d like to pay (up to **200 invoices** at a time)
- Any **eligible early pay discounts** will be automatically applied
- Select **Confirm** to proceed

- Review invoice details and payment total

- Input payment information, if you'd like you can save payment details for future transactions

### Payment Confirmation

- Once the payment is processed, you’ll receive a confirmation email
- Successfully paid invoices will be moved to **Paid Invoices** tab

### **🛡️ ACH Debit Blocks**

If you have a debit block on your account, please authorize your suppliers **Originator ID** to ensure successful transactions. The originator ID is your supplier's Tax ID with a 1 in front. 

Example:

- **Tax ID:** 12-3456789
- **Originator ID:** 1123456789

### Payment Statuses

- **Ready to Pay** – Invoice is open and unpaid
- **Processing** – Payment is in progress
- **Failed** – Payment did not go through, hover over the error icon to see the failure reason

### Processing Multiple Payments

If you pay multiple invoices using the **same payment method**, Centime will deduct the **total amount** in one transaction.
