What do the different invoice statuses mean?

At Remote, we bill our customers for contractors’ invoices and employees’ payroll (EOR). From the moment the invoice is created on the platform to the moment payment has been received by Remote, the invoice will go through several status changes.

Payment statuses

• Partially paid: This status indicates that we have received partial payment for your invoice that doesn’t cover the full amount due. Please contact us to confirm how you have left to pay.
• Payment failed: If your payment fails, please try again, or contact us if you continue to have problems. 
• Payment failed - partial failure: If the amount is greater than the Stripe limits, then the transaction is broken up into multiple installments. This status is set when one of the installments fail.
