What's a credit account?

When completing a sale, you have the option of paying by store credit account. This means that the amount is stored as an owing payment in the customer's name.
All credit accounts need to be set up in Nomni Console.


Manage credit accounts

Go to Sales > Credit Account to manage customer credit accounts for your store.

Go to Sales > Credit Account to manage customer credit accounts for your store

You can filter the credit account list by Name, Customer, and Balance range. To reset the filters, click Reset.
If an account is Active, it will show on the POS.

Create a new credit account

  1. Click New Credit Account.

  2. Enter the Name of the credit account, and their Password. Each credit account must have a password that the credit account holder will know, so when they claim to put a sale on that credit account, your staff can verify their access to the account.

  3. (OPTIONAL) If your credit account holder is an existing customer, you can link the customer record to the credit account (you will need to have created the customer already in the Customers page).

  4. (OPTIONAL) You can create a Max Credit Allowance (overall limit) and a Max Transaction Allowance (limit per transaction) to restrict the credit account. The Note section is for your personal reference; it does not appear on the POS.

Note: If a credit account is not attached to a specific customer, customer details will be missing from credit top-up invoices. Ensure that the credit account is linked to the appropriate customer to include their details on invoices.5. Click Save.

Any purchases made with this credit account will show in the Transactions section. Under the Invoice column, you can click on an invoice number to go to the corresponding invoice.

Any credit accounts which are not active will not appear on the POS.


Paying with a credit account on the POS

When a customer wants to pay for their order using their credit account:

  1. Add the desired products to your order and tap PAY.

  2. Tap CREDIT ACCOUNT.

  3. Tap the customer's credit account.

  4. A password will appear. Ask the customer for their credit account password (set on Nomni Console). If it's correct, tap YES.

  5. The sale will be accepted. Tap COMPLETE SALE.


Top up a credit account

When your customer wants to pay for/top up their credit account:

  1. Go to Top up account.

  2. Select your customer's credit account. A negative balance shows how much they owe; a positive balance shows how much they have left to use.

  3. Enter Top Up Amount using the keypad.

  4. Select a payment method.

  5. The balance will update accordingly.

Note: Invoices for credit account payments made through the TOP UP feature cannot be printed directly from the POS. To access these invoices, you need to use Nomni Console.


Reporting

View invoices

Invoices that are paid by a credit account with a negative balance will be shown as Unpaid until that credit account is topped up.Additionally, invoices may remain marked as "Unpaid" if refunds are processed directly through a payment gateway, as Nomni Console does not automatically update the invoice status to reflect the refund.

Note that split payments where a credit account was a form of payment will also be marked as being unpaid.Another potential cause of invoice status discrepancies is when duplicate payment triggers occur or when product prices, variants, or modifiers are changed after the order is created, leading to mismatches in transaction data.

  1. Go to Sales > Invoices.

  2. Change the Display to Show All or Unpaid.

  3. You will be able to tell which invoices were paid on a credit account by consulting the Payment column.
