POS SOLUTIONS

Invoices allow you to accept an order right away for payment at a later date. meant for placing an order and collecting payment at a future date. For example, a bakery can create a catering order, and instead of taking cash at the time of the order, create an invoice and send it to the customer. Payment can be processed all at once at a future date, or accepted in multiple installments. Once the invoice is paid, it can be turned into an order.
