Invoice Statuses
Every invoice in SlotBase has a status that tells you where it stands in the billing lifecycle. This reference page explains each status, when it applies, and what action (if any) you should take.
Invoice Status Reference
| Status | Meaning | Action Required |
|---|---|---|
| Draft | The invoice has been created but is not yet finalized | No action -- the facility admin is still reviewing |
| Pending | The invoice has been finalized and is awaiting payment | Pay before the due date |
| Paid | The full amount has been collected | No action needed |
| Partially Paid | Some payment has been received, but a balance remains | Pay the remaining amount due |
| Overdue | The due date has passed without full payment | Pay immediately |
| Cancelled | The invoice has been voided by the facility | No action needed |
| Refunded | A payment on the invoice was refunded | No action needed |
Status Lifecycle
An invoice typically moves through statuses in the following order:
Normal Payment Flow
- Draft -- the invoice is generated at the end of the billing period
- Pending -- the invoice is finalized and sent to the player
- Paid -- the player pays the full amount
Partial Payment Flow
- Draft -- the invoice is generated
- Pending -- the invoice is finalized
- Partially Paid -- the player makes a partial payment
- Paid -- the player pays the remaining balance
Overdue Flow
- Draft -- the invoice is generated
- Pending -- the invoice is finalized
- Overdue -- the due date passes without full payment
- Paid -- the player eventually pays the full amount
An invoice can move from Overdue back to Paid or Partially Paid once payments are received. The overdue status does not prevent payment.
Status Details
Draft
- The invoice has been created by the system during the monthly billing process.
- It is visible to facility admins but not yet sent to the player.
- The admin may review and adjust line items before finalizing.
- Players do not see draft invoices in their dashboard.
Facility admins should review draft invoices promptly to ensure accuracy before they are sent to players.
Pending
- The invoice has been finalized and is now visible to the player.
- The player can view the invoice and make a payment at any time.

- No further payment is required.
- The invoice remains accessible for record-keeping purposes.
Partially Paid
- One or more payments have been recorded, but the total does not cover the full amount.
- The Amount Paid shows what has been collected.
- The Amount Due shows the remaining balance.
- The player should pay the remaining balance before the due date.
Overdue
- The invoice's due date has passed without the full amount being paid.
- This status applies to invoices that are still Pending or Partially Paid after the due date.
- The player should pay immediately to resolve the overdue status.
An overdue status may affect your ability to make new bookings or registrations at the facility. Contact the facility if you need to discuss a payment plan.
Cancelled
- The facility admin has voided the invoice.
- Common reasons include duplicate invoices, incorrect charges, or special arrangements.

- Cancelled invoices are retained in the system for audit purposes.
Refunded
- A payment that was previously made on this invoice has been refunded.
- The refund may be full or partial.
