# Paying an invoice

> You pay invoices from the [approvals page](https://app.getlemma.com/_/requests). You'll get an email for every invoice with a link taking you directly to the page where you can pay.

## Finding invoices waiting on you

When an invoice needs your action, a badge appears on **Move Money** in the sidebar with the number of requests waiting for you.

After clicking on [Move Money](https://app.getlemma.com/_/move-money), scroll down to the [Approve transfers option](https://app.getlemma.com/_/requests). It carries the same badge and takes you to the approvals page.

## Approving an invoice payment

Only owners can pay an invoice. Other team members can see the request but the payment cannot be sent until an owner approves it.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the request">
    Go to [Move Money > Requests](https://app.getlemma.com/_/requests) and select the pending
    invoice. You'll see who sent it, the amount, the line items, and any
    attachments the sender included.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select a bank account to pay the invoice">
    The invoice drawer will show a dropdown. Select the bank account you will use to pay the invoice.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Approve the payment">
    Click "approve" to send the invoice payment. The payment is sent instantly, 24/7, including on weekends and holidays.

    Alternatively, you can always click "Reject". You cannot undo a rejection, the sender would need to create another invoice.
  </Step>
</Steps>

Once paid, the invoice appears on your [Transactions](https://app.getlemma.com/_/transactions?type=Invoice) page. See [Invoices you've paid](/docs/guides/invoices-paid) for finding the receipt and who approved the payment.
