# Registering Participant Payments

Did a participant pay by cash or bank transfer? Register the payment in a few clicks — their balance will update straight away.

## How to register a payment

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
**Go to the *****Participants***** tab**

Find the participant whose payment you want to register.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Check the *****Balance***** column**

If the participant has arrears, you will see them in the *Balance* column. Click on the amount to open the payment form.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Enter the payment details**

Enter the **amount**, **date**, and an optional **comment**.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Click *****Save***

The payment is registered and the participant's balance updates automatically.
