Collecting Payment for Open/Past Due Orders

When an Order is placed using Net Terms, the customer may pay "offline" either with Cash, Check, Wire Transfer, or any other method that is done outside of Zoey. The Zoey Admin will then need to mark the order as Paid by clicking the "Invoice" button on the Order. Or you may set up Billing Automation to send bills to be paid online via Credit Card or ACH.
