It seems form what you have said that any user can have multiple invoices with payments due, in which case would it not be better to just have a single "make payment" at the bottom which they fill in with the amount they want to pay which is then taken off their total balance. But allowing users to enter amounts is prone to error, so how about have a checkbox at the end of each row for the user to specify which invoices they want to pay, then submit the form and click through to payment page which totals up all the checked invoices.
