This setting determines the due date displayed on your invoices, but you can change this date or set default payment terms when you create an invoice. The terms set here only apply to new customers you create, they don't affect existing customers.

  • Invoice payment options—this is where you choose which payment options you allow, and any applicable banking details. Your chosen payment options will appear on your invoices, quotes and statements—making it easy for customers to pay you. You can also set up and manage online invoice payments which allow customers to pay you straight from their emailed invoices.
