Request a down payment

A down payment is an initial, partial payment, with the agreement that the rest will be paid later. For expensive orders or projects, it is a way to protect yourself and make sure your customer is serious.

First time you request a down payment

When you confirm a sale, you can create an invoice and select a down payment option. It can either be a fixed amount or a percentage of the total amount.

The first time you request a down payment you can select an income account and a tax setting that will be reused for next down payments.
