This method will allow you/your client to create an invoice with pending payment status. You/your client will be able to apply a payment afterward. This option allows you to edit your invoice.
Line of credit
The line of credit is usually chosen by customers that like to pay monthly or in advance. Once a line of credit is activated, you/your client can decide to add a payment anytime. The invoice will be applied to the line and at the end of every month, your client will receive an email with his balance and a PDF statement attached. In case of a delay in submitting a minimum payment after the 21st of each month, interests will apply.
The line of credit offers few options:
- Automatic approval: If you activate this function, any client who requests a line of credit, will have an authorized credit limit equal to the amount specified by you.
