Getting started

See what you are owed

Open the Dashboard (or the onboarding “Here’s What You’re Owed” step) to see outstanding balances by age and debtor.

Once invoices are on the book, PayBlah shows what is outstanding so you can prioritise without exporting a spreadsheet first.

On the Dashboard

  1. Sign in and open Dashboard in the main nav.
  2. Read the summary cards:
    • Overdue money collected — paid within 14 days of a reminder, with a period filter (for example last 30 days).
    • Total Overdue — amount and counts of invoices and debtors.
    • Being Chased — invoices actively on a ladder.
    • Due Soon — not yet overdue but coming up.
    • On Hold — promised, disputed, paused, or part paid.
  3. Use Open Balance By Age bands (Due Soon, 1–7, 8–14, 15–30, 31–60, 60+). Tap a band to focus that slice.
  4. Check Needs You for items that need a human decision (for example a dispute).

The sidebar shows Recovered · last 30 days and Next run time when runs are scheduled.

During onboarding

After a first connect or import you may see Here’s What You’re Owed with total outstanding, age bands, and “owing you the most” debtors. From there you can set up reminders or look around first. The screen states that nothing sends until you review and press go.

Empty book

If no invoices are loaded yet, the dashboard focuses on the Getting Started checklist instead of full totals. Connect or import first; then the same cards populate.

What this does not do

  • Viewing balances does not enrol or chase anyone.
  • Age bands do not change accounting source data — they reflect what PayBlah has synced or imported.
  • Collected totals only count payments PayBlah attributes after a reminder window; they are not a full cashbook.
