Credit Accounts allow extending credit to external entities, such as wholesalers. They can also be used as a prepaid only account similar to a prepaid credit card.
Credit Accounts are created in the Quick18 Admin. The first time you create an Account (of any type) you MUST launch the Quick18 TeeSheet App on each clover device that will be used to process Credit Account orders. Opening the App enables the custom tender and adds the “Q18 Account” button to the payments screen on the device.
To tender orders to a Credit Account click the “Q18 Account” custom tender button on the payments screen and select the Credit account in the list to charge the payment to. All available Account types are shown in this list. You can narrow the list by choosing which Account Type or search via Account or Customer name.
Individual orders tendered to a Credit Account increase the Balance Due for the Account. Orders are listed within the Account Activities in the Quick18 TeeSheet app or within the Quick18 Web Admin. You can bill the account holder separately on a recurring schedule.
