# Payment Methods

> Maintain a reusable list of payment methods you can select on your invoices.

**Payment methods** are the ways your customers can pay you — such as Bank
Transfer, Cash, Check, or a card type. Maintaining the list here means you can
pick a payment method on an invoice instead of retyping it each time. Open the
page from **Master Data → Payment Methods** in the sidebar.

## The list

Each row is one payment method. The grid has these columns:

* **Code** — a short identifier such as `BANK`, `CASH`, `CHECK`, or `CARD`.
* **Name** — the display name (for example *Bank Transfer*). Select it to edit.
* **Status** — **Active** methods appear in the picker on invoices; inactive
  ones are hidden.
* **Actions** — **Edit** and **Delete**.

Use the **Search** box to filter, and select any column header to sort. Fatorly
comes with common methods pre-loaded, such as Bank Transfer, Cash, Check, and
Credit/Debit Card.

## Add a payment method

Select **Add New** in the top-right. An inline panel opens above the list.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Enter the details">
    Provide a unique **Code**, **Name (English)**, and **Name (Arabic)**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save">
    Select **Save**. New methods are **Active** by default and immediately
    available on invoices.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Tip>
  Mark methods you don't use as inactive (via **Edit**) to keep the selection list
  on invoices short and relevant.
</Tip>

## Row actions

* **Edit** opens the method for changing its code, names, or status.
* **Delete** removes the method. Documents already issued are unaffected.
