Where a payment mistake usually comes from

Because payments in ClinyPal are recorded manually, most mistakes are entry errors — the wrong invoice, the wrong amount, or the wrong payment method selected in a hurry. Each has a different fix.

Wrong amount

Open the invoice's payment history and correct the amount. If the patient was overcharged, the difference is automatically kept as account credit rather than lost.

Wrong invoice

If a payment was applied to the wrong invoice entirely, remove it there and record it fresh against the correct one. Check the patient's account summary afterwards to confirm both invoices reflect the right balance.

Wrong payment method

Correct the payment type directly on the recorded payment. This matters most if your clinic reconciles by payment method at the end of the day, since a wrong method will throw off your daily takings.

If the invoice is already void or written off

Locked invoices can't be corrected directly A void or written-off invoice can't be edited. If a payment mistake involves one of these, raise a new invoice to correct the record rather than trying to reopen the old one.
