On Account sales are sales are used to track product purchases that the customer intends to pay off at a later date.
Important:
- Check with the store manager to make sure your store offers On Account sales to every customer, or if approval is required.
- Each account sale is a separate invoice the customer will need to pay. If you'd like to add a sale to an existing invoice, you'll need to find and open this account sale again. Do not do this if your store uses the Xero integration.
To place a sale On Account:
- Ensure the customer is added to the sale.
- Click Pay.
- Click On Account.
- Issue the customer a receipt.
Tip: You can take a regular payment before placing the item On Account.
The sale will be shifted to On Account status, and the customer will have a balance-owing recorded against their name. Each time that customer is added to a sale, you will be able to see any outstanding balance on their account. Once the balance reaches 0, the sale will be closed.
Xero customers: On Account sales will create an accounts receivable invoice in Xero. You can read more about On Account sales and Xero here.
