Free Payment Statement Template — Download Now
Category: Statement Templates
Every payment your business receives deserves a clear, professional confirmation—not just for your records, but for your customer's records as well. A payment statement combines the confirmation of payment received with the context of your customer's account, showing exactly how the payment affected their balance and which invoices or charges it covered. This documentation prevents the 'I paid that' disputes that arise when customers believe they have paid more than your records show.
Eonebill's free payment statement template gives you a professional document for confirming payments received, documenting payment applications, and maintaining clear records for both your business and your customers.

Payment Application Methods
FIFO (First-In, First-Out)
Apply payments to the oldest outstanding invoices first. This is the standard default when no customer instruction is given. FIFO is the safest approach because it minimizes the number of invoices that remain outstanding and reduces the risk of the statute of limitations running on older debt.
Customer-Directed Application
If a customer submits payment with explicit written instructions specifying which invoices to pay, honor those instructions exactly. Document the customer's instructions with the payment and ensure the application matches their direction. If their direction would result in leaving newer invoices unpaid while older ones remain open (potentially triggering late fees on those older invoices), notify the customer of this consequence before applying the payment.
