Balance and trade credit

Balance

One of the most important functions when running an online wholesale store is to have information regarding customers' balance. It allows, i.e.to include small underpayments or overpayments, caused by returns, during next shopping.

• Automatization

• By default the minimal balance of each customer is 0 GBP. However, it sometimes happens that customers purchase products that are out of stock. The situation is frequent in case of wholesale stores. The most convenient solution is to send all the available products and keep the money for the out of stock products on the customer's balance. Thanks to it, during next order, the system will use the money from the balance and match it with new orders.

• Effective and smooth returns handling

• If a customer returns products and buys new items, i.e. shoes of a different size, it is enough to refund the money to the customer's balance. During next shopping the money from the balance will be matched with a new order (as long as the amount is the same).

• Comfort

• A balance is assigned to a customer and not to an order. Therefore, the principle that an order needs to sum up with an amount is not broken. A balance can be used when, i.e. you want to equal the amount of payments in order to not to send a customer 2p or ask for 2p. The missing amount can be settled when paying for the next order.

Trade credit

Online shops that purchase at online wholesale stores not always have accounting liqidity. Therefore, they are not always able to pay the total amount for the order. Taking into consideration the effective integration of a wholesale store with its trading partners, we make an option of a trade credit available.

The option allows to send the products without getting an advanced payment for the order. You can mark the postponed deadline for a payment on the invoice. The amount is paid after a set time, counted from the moment your customer receives the goods.
