coreSTORE - Sales: Using Store Accounts
Store Accounts are used to allow for a customer to buy on an account that is tracked by the store. This is basically a credit line with the customer. Using this feature allows for a flexible way for a customer to pay for products.

Once enabled, a new payment method "Store Account" is added to the payment list in the sales module:
The store account balance will be noted on the customer attached to a sale:
To add a payment to a store account, simply add items to a sale, select a customer, then add a payment method of store account. After completing the sale their balance will display on the receipt.
Store accounts are not any good if you cannot pay down the balance. Fortunately, paying a store account is easy.
To do this, go to the sales register and simply the "register mode" to store account and then select a customer. Then enter the payment amount and method and complete the sale. A receipt will be shown and the balance displayed on the receipt.
