April 8th, for sure. That's when the payment actually showed up in Alpha's account, which is the key date for accrual accounting.

March 1st, of course! That's when the order was shipped and invoiced. Easy peasy.

But shouldn't revenue be recognized when payment is received? So, it should be recorded on April 5th.

I agree with Leonora, because that's when the order was shipped.
