Using "Account" payment method in Intuit POS

Let me help you with how to take and process customer payments in QuickBooks Point of Sale, Shaman653.

We accept standard payment methods such as cash, credit card, debit card, check, or gift card in QuickBooks Point of Sale. Contactless payments are also accepted, including NFC and tap-to-pay options such as Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Samsung Pay. Alternatively, you can process payments on the go with your mobile device and the GoPayment app. To save time, all of your sales and payment data is routed directly to your QuickBooks Desktop financial software.

The best practice with this is to ensure you set up your QuickBooks Point of Sale hardware  and make sure your QuickBooks Point of Sale is up to date . This keeps the program running smoothly. Then, sign up for QuickBooks Payments or if you already have a Payments account, be sure to link your existing account to QuickBooks Point of Sale.

Once your Payments account is set up, follow these steps to create an order:

1. In your Point of Sale home screen, select Make a Sale.
2. Choose how you want to add an order. You can scan the item or manually enter the products or services.
3. You can manually adjust the amount due in the Charge field if you need to.

Great reading recommendations, thank you.

What about the "Account" payment type? I have a handful of customers we sell to on account, but track it outside of the POS, but this makes reconciling a pain. I'd love to use the account" payment type in the system to track everything together, but I'm wondering what the best practices are for setting up the items needed to charge/pay on account.
