# Adding Payments

You can add individual payments or payments for both controlled and uncontrolled batches.

> [!NOTE]
> Note
> 
> New payments can be added without having a batch number.

There are five ways to add a payment:

- From the Balances tab of a customer record. See [Working with Payments on Customer Accounts](/v1/docs/working-with-payments-on-customer-accounts)
- [From the Payments Search Results](/v1/docs/from-payments-search-results)
- [From the Payments for Batch # form](/v1/docs/from-payments-for-batch)
- [From the Accounts Receivable Controlled Batches form](/v1/docs/from-accounts-receivable-controlled-batches)
- If ACH Batch Processing is enabled for OnlineBill Release 1.1 or higher, bill payments made in OnlineBill are added to the batch.
