Where is this in the desktop version?

I do not have a "gear".

It's good to see you in this thread, @Prawn-Designs.

The steps provided by my colleagues above about the Gear icon is only applicable to QuickBooks Online (QBO).

To change payment terms on your QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) account, you can select it on the Terms drop-down menu on your invoice page.

If you're still not able to set up payment terms, then let me show you how:

Go to the Lists menu at the top.
Choose Customer & Vendor Profile Lists.
Pick Terms List.
Go the bottom of the page, then click on the drop-down for New.
In the Terms field box, enter the name.
Mark the radio-button for Standard or Date-driven payment terms.
Once done, hit OK.

Once you create an invoice, the payment terms set up should now show on the Terms drop-down menu.

For future reference, I'm adding a link to our online tutorials that can help you run your business using QuickBooks.

If you need further assistance while working with QuickBooks, I'll be happy to help you out, visit us here again. Have a nice day.

I guess I am really being dense today. How do I get to that listing? I've never seen it before.

Hi, dixondlow.

You can follow the steps mentioned by @JonpriL so you'll be able to get to the listing. Let me elaborate on the steps again.

Click Customers on the upper menu.
Select Customer Center.
Under Excel, select Paste from Excel.
On the TERMS column, select Net 30.
Click Save Changes.

But first, make sure you've set up payment terms so it shows on the listing.

For more information, you can refer to these articles for your guide: Reports And Accounting.

Keep me posted if you have other questions. I'll be here to help.
