How to set up 2% 10 Net 30 terms?

Welcome to the Community, @blackanviljustin,

I'd be glad to guide you on how to set up payment terms and add a customer discount to your invoices in QuickBooks Online (QBO). 

Setting up variable terms helps specify how much time you provide your customers to pay for your goods or services. It also made your customer easily plan their payments to pay you on time. 

Follow these steps on how to set up and manage payment terms:

1. On your QBO account, click the Gear icon.
2. Select Account and Settings, and then click the Sales tab.



3. In the Sales tab, locate the Sales form content. Then select the pencil icon.



4. In the Sales form content section, change the Preferred invoice terms you like.
Tip: Here are some examples of names you can use. You can also add new ones if you'd like to customize them:

• Due on Receipt- The payment is due depending on the receipt date.
• NET 10 - The payment is due within 10 days after the invoice issue date.
• NET 15 - The payment is due within 15 days after the invoice issue date.

• NET 30 - The payment is due within 30 days after the invoice issue date.
• NET 60 - The payment is due within 60 days after the invoice issue date.

5. Once ready, click Save.

After setting up the terms, you may now proceed and add discounts to your invoices.

Thanks for the response. I did find the section to set up terms but was unable to find a way to add a 2% discount when paid within 10 days for all customer invoices. I'm specifically looking for a way to set up 2% 10 Net 30 as my terms. How can I set that up? 

Let me know if you found a way to do it. I'm still looking.

Hello there, Ryan Piché.

It's a great concept to add more options when setting up terms. It guarantees payment and makes your invoicing process clearer to customers. That said, I recommend forwarding your product suggestion directly to our developers for inclusion in further updates.

Here's how:

1. In your company, press the Gear icon and select Feedback under Profile.
2. Enter your product suggestions in the field box.
3. Press the Next button to submit.

Don't hesitate to leave a comment below and tag my name if you have additional questions about payment terms or other QuickBooks concerns. I'll be delighted to respond to them, Ryan Piché.

I'm also trying to set this up. Have either of you successfully done this? This may be a deal breaker for our accounting and we may need to change back to desktop version...

Hey, I have been using Quickbooks for a couple of years and haven't found a direct solution. However, what I have decided to do was create a new term called 2/10 net 30, and set it to 10 days. Every time I send an invoice that I want with those terms I just use that term and put in the discount in the invoice. If it goes over the 10 days, I just go back into the invoice and change the terms to due in 20 or 30 days manually and remove the discount. Not sure if it helps but it's the best I have for now. 

It's too bad this can't be automated by Quickbooks.  Would be one less thing to worry about as a small business owner. And it is a great approach to help people pay early, instead of waiting 40 days and needing 3 reminders.
