GOOD QUESTIONSA few things
A few things
you might be wondering.
Clear answers, before you get started.
What happens if I enter the wrong payment?
Void the incorrect entry with a reason, then record the correct payment. The original stays in your history. Invoice balances and customer totals update to reflect active payments. This corrects your records; it does not refund or move money.
Who is ClearLien for?
Small service businesses that invoice customers for jobs: contractors, home service teams, studios, and consultants. Keep jobs, payment records, documents, and follow-ups together.
Will ClearLien email my customers?
No. Follow-ups are private tasks for you. You can copy a payment message, review it, and send it yourself through your usual email or messaging app. You stay in control of every customer conversation.
Does it handle deposits and partial payments?
Yes. Record each payment against an invoice and see the remaining balance. If you enter a payment incorrectly, you can void it with a reason while keeping the original in your history. ClearLien records payments; it does not move money.
Do I have to replace my accounting software?
No. Use ClearLien to stay on top of jobs and outstanding payments. It does not handle payroll, tax filing, or bank reconciliation. You can export records for your bookkeeper or accountant.
Can I bring my existing invoices?
Yes. Add your jobs, upload a CSV, match the columns and job names, then review the rows before importing. Existing invoices are kept, and duplicate invoice numbers are flagged.
Can I take my records with me?
Yes. Export jobs, invoices, payments, follow-ups, and document details as CSV, or download all records as JSON. You can also download a ZIP with your records and original documents, up to 100 MB per archive.
Are lien waivers required?
No. Waiver tracking is optional for each job. You can also keep contracts, receipts, invoices, and supporting photos. Storing a document does not verify its legal validity.
