By default, you can accept manual payments (cheque, wired transfers), but we have 2 brand new gateways available to accept payments via PayPal accounts and from credit cards via Stripe.

Payments listing

You will also find a new page into Customer Area → Payments which separately list all the payments for each invoice.
