An invoice can be created, sent and marked with several payment-related states. Buyers need to know what each one means in your product. Follow a fictional transaction and show which action or information changes its status. ![Hands working through documents with a calculator](https://caprivideo.com/content/images/accounting.jpg) *Illustrative stock photo: [Mikhail Nilov / Pexels](https://www.pexels.com/photo/a-person-working-on-the-documents-using-a-calculator-8297220/). [Pexels License](https://www.pexels.com/license/).* ## Keep the invoice and its status together Show a sample invoice moving through confirmed steps. Distinguish manual changes from information received through an established connection. A moving payment icon should not imply completed funds movement when the screen only confirms a request or intermediate state. Keep the same transaction details across views so the meaning remains traceable. ## Prepare a consistent demo Prepare a demo transaction, the rules behind its statuses and details of the integrations being shown. Use fictional demo data and record the screens and product version shown. Check who acts in each scene and what the screen actually confirms. ![Touchscreen point-of-sale terminal on a retail counter](https://caprivideo.com/content/images/pos.jpg) *Illustrative stock photo: [iMin Technology / Pexels](https://www.pexels.com/photo/device-on-counter-12935098/). [Pexels License](https://www.pexels.com/license/).* ## Try it before the next demo Use it on the feature page or in onboarding. Ask what the status confirms and what's still unknown. If viewers confuse a document state with completed payment, fix the labels or transitions. Keep the clip about product behavior, with accounting, tax and financial advice outside its purpose. ## Related reading - [Show what someone can do with your software](https://caprivideo.com/guides/saas-video-production) - [Show accounting clients where their documents go](https://caprivideo.com/industries/professional-services/accounting-firm-onboarding-videos) ## Related pages - [Industry group: Software & apps](https://caprivideo.com/industries/software-saas) - [A little more background: Show what someone can do with your software](https://caprivideo.com/guides/saas-video-production) - [Follow a project question through construction software](https://caprivideo.com/industries/software-saas/construction-software-videos): Use one document detail to explain assignment, replies, versions and any separate approval step. - [Show what retail software does after checkout](https://caprivideo.com/industries/software-saas/retail-software-explainer-videos): Follow a sample purchase into order handling and inventory, making the limits of each connected system clear. - [Who handles the request in your property platform?](https://caprivideo.com/industries/software-saas/proptech-explainer-videos): Move between resident and management views while keeping ownership, questions and the current status visible. - [Explain what a warehouse scan actually records](https://caprivideo.com/industries/software-saas/logistics-software-explainer-videos): Connect one shipment's digital status with the next supported action and any physical handling still to come. - [Show the work behind a cybersecurity alert](https://caprivideo.com/industries/software-saas/cybersecurity-explainer-videos): Explain detection, assessment and supported responses without making an alert look like proof that an incident was prevented. - [Give a dashboard a question to answer](https://caprivideo.com/industries/software-saas/bi-explainer-videos): Use demonstration data to connect a business question, the selected records and the resulting chart. ## See your offer as a video We create a free watermarked video for your business from your website.
