# Archiving Invoices

**Learn how to archive invoices directly through your Alternative Partner Dashboard.**

***

In the Alternative Payments platform, archiving an invoice is a non-destructive, reversible action. It hides the invoice from the end-customer's view within their payment portal, but the invoice and its data are preserved and can be restored at any time. Please follow the steps below to archive an invoice.

1. To archive an invoice, first visit our [website](https://www.alternativepayments.io/) and log in to your account using your email address.
2. Then, go to your dashboard and select 'Accounts Receivable' followed by 'Invoices.'
3. Locate the specific invoice you wish to archive and click on the ellipsis located at the far right corner of the invoice. This will bring up a dropdown menu, from which you should select 'Archive.'
