Hello there, Miltduquette.
I see that you're using QuickBooks Online EasyStart. The Delayed Credit feature is only available in the Essentials and Plus versions.
I suggest recording a retainer instead. You record this if your customer makes an advanced payment. For the detailed steps, please check this article: How to record a retainer or deposit.
We're just around if you need more of our help. Have a nice day!
