How income is recorded
There are two ways to add income to Biller: automatically from forwarded e-Transfer emails, or manually for other payment types. Both methods feed into the same dashboard and income list.
Automatic from email
The primary way income enters Biller is through forwarded Interac e-Transfer notification emails. When you receive a payment via e-Transfer, your bank sends you a notification email. Forward that email to your unique Biller address and the rest happens automatically.
Biller parses the email and extracts the payment amount, sender name, date, reference number, and sender email (when available). A new income entry is created on your account within seconds.
For the best experience, set up auto-forwarding so every Interac notification is sent to Biller without any manual effort. See How email forwarding works for details on the process.
Manual entry
Not all income arrives by e-Transfer. If you receive cash, cheques, wire transfers, or payments through other channels, you can add those manually so your income tracking stays complete.
Manual entries support multiple currencies (CAD, USD, EUR, GBP) and include fields for client name, amount, date, notes, and optional service date ranges. See Adding income manually for a step-by-step walkthrough.
How they appear on your dashboard
Both automatic and manual income entries appear in the same places throughout Biller:
- Dashboard -- your totals and charts reflect all recorded income
- Income list -- a chronological list of every entry, filterable by date range, client, and source
- Client pages -- income is grouped under the associated client, showing payment history at a glance
Each entry is labelled with its source -- e-Transfer for parsed emails, or Manual for hand-entered records -- so you can always tell how a payment was recorded.
