If your store facilitates "Deposit" accounts where customers can pay in money in advance e.g. Christmas Clubs, then you can use the Accounts functionality in Retail 365 to do this.

• In order to treat an account like a "Deposit" account, we recommend setting the Credit Limit on the account to be 0.00. This will ensure that the customer will only be able to purchase goods in the store using money they have already paid in to the account.

• Once the Credit Limit is set to 0.00 you can then process any payments into the account either at the Till, e.g. Cash, Cheque or Credit Card payments or in the Accounts module by using the Adjustment or Add Transaction function e.g. Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT). So long as there is a balance on the account, the customer will be able to redeem this balance against products purchased at the Till.

NOTE: if you leave the Credit Limit field blank then you will not be able to sell any items to the Account at the Till so you must enter 0.00.
