Hi Tamara,
Thank you for reaching out and sharing your thoughts with us!
I completely understand where you're coming from. At this time, Eventeny does not allow offline payments—such as check, cash, or in-kind contributions—under our Terms of Service. Because of this, there isn’t a supported option to manually mark vendors as paid by those methods within the platform, outside of manually marking an issued invoice as paid.
While we know this is a highly requested feature, we’re unable to support offline payment tracking due to important compliance and platform integrity considerations. As a result, it’s not something we plan to implement moving forward.
We do recommend using coupon codes or issuing $0 invoices as a workaround in cases of sponsorship or in-kind arrangements, though we understand that may not be ideal in every scenario.
Thanks again for your feedback, and for working with us to ensure everything runs smoothly!
