Why Is There a Balance or Credit Due After a Signed and Paid Contract?

The contract has been signed and paid for, but now it says they owe me money or I owe them? How do I fix this?

This feature is available on all Goodshuffle Pro Plans.

If you notice there is an outstanding balance or credit after your client has signed your contract and provided payment, it is most likely caused by an additional change in the contract. In other words, a client could have added or removed an item after signing and paying.

For example: let's say a client paid for your contract a week ago but realized they will need additional tables for more guests. The client will now owe you extra money for the change.

The status bar will turn red identifying there are Unassigned Changes. You will see the amount owed due to unassigned changed at the bottom of your project:

What do I do?

There are a couple methods you can use to fix this issue

Method 1: Arrange an offline payment with the client. You may collect the money in any form you and the client decide on and record the offline payment in Goodshuffle.

Method 2: Provide the client with a refund or credit (if items/services were removed).
