33.9. Pay Later Option
Arctic Retail has the option for you to allow specified guests to "Pay Later". This allows guests to run a tab of charges during their visit with you. To activate this feature go to the "Settings" page under "Retail" and click the "Pencil" icon next to "Allow Paying Later".
By default, Arctic is set to not allow paying later. When you click the "Pencil" icon next to "Allow Paying Later", Arctic will display the "Configure" page where you will choose "Yes" to enable this feature. Once you have selected "Yes, allow paying later if the person is selected", click "Save Setting" to save your changes.
To use the "Pay Later" option in the "Retail Terminal", you must select a "Person" for the transaction to be related to.
After you enter a "Person" for the transaction, you can choose to start a "New Transaction" or to add to a previous "Invoice/Transaction" by selecting the appropriate option from the "Invoice/Transaction" field shown here:
By default, Arctic is set to start a "New Transaction". After selecting either "New Transaction" or an outstanding invoice/transaction for the sale, you can complete the sale as any other normal retail transaction, adding items by selecting them from your item list or scanning the barcodes. Once you have added all of the items for the sale click the "Pay Later" button shown here:
Arctic will then display a message letting you know what invoice number the transaction was saved under. Note: if you selected a previous invoice/transaction, the new charges will be added to the existing invoice number. If you selected "New Transaction", Arctic will generate a new invoice for the items added to the sale.
To add additional items to the saved transaction or to process a payment for the saved transaction, you will enter your customer's name again and then select the invoice number displayed on the "Transaction Saved" message.
Arctic will display all of the past retail items added to the invoice, you can add additional items and choose "Pay Later" again or you record a payment and close out the transaction by selecting a payment method.
