Client Accounts
To use Client Accounts in Meevo, enable the Allow this client to place charges and credits on account option on a client's profile and ensure the Account Charge Payment Type is active. Then you can:
- Charge to a client's account.
- Accept payment on a client account that has an owed balance.
- Accept payment as credit on a client account without an owed balance.
- Set a maximum balance limit for all clients and adjust (if needed) for individual clients
How do I know if a client has a balance or credit on the account?
If a client's account has a balance or credit, one of the following indicators will appear beside the client name in the register:
There is available credit on the client's account. Hover over the icon to see the existing credit amount, or select the icon to open the client profile with the account history already pulled up. |
|
There is a balance owed on the client's account. Hover over the icon to see the existing balance and, if a balance limit is set, to see the amount owed and amount of remaining available credit. Select the icon to open the client profile with the account history already pulled up. |
How do I set a balance limit on client accounts?
- In Register Business Preferences, select Enable client account spending limit. In the Limit field, set a maximum balance that clients can owe on their account. This sets a maximum for all clients who are allowed to charge to their account.
- That same Limit field will now appear in client profiles. The value on the client profile defaults to the value in the Business Preferences setting. If at any point you wish to raise or lower this limit for individual clients, you can do so on a profile-by-profile basis.
