# Contacts Overview

## 🧭 What Is the Contacts Feature?

The **Contacts** section in AllScale Pay helps you manage the people and businesses you interact with financially. Any time you send or receive an invoice, the other party is automatically saved as a **Contact** — so the next transaction is faster and more seamless.

You can also manually add contacts for recurring workflows or upcoming payments.

## 🗂️ What You Can Do

* **Save contact details** including names, notes, and payment preferences
