Payment Terms

A payment term is a condition or guideline under which you can make or receive a payment. You must include the Payment Term on the Invoice so your customers know that they must pay outstanding charges within a certain time. You can create multiple payment terms and even define the sequence in which each term is displayed on the Invoice.
