# 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.

To enable this feature, go to Store Config/Setting and check the box "Customers Store Accounts."

# Paying On a Store Account

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.
