Let customers pay later without losing control of the till

Turn Point of Sale's native deferred-payment tender into a complete buy-now-pay-later workflow — hard credit-limit enforcement, manager approvals, configurable installment plans, and a full aging ledger, all from the register.

The problem

Trusted customers need to walk out with goods before paying in full, but stock Point of Sale only closes a sale on full payment. Cashiers improvise with a manual back-office invoice or block the lane, no one can see what a customer already owes, and nothing stops a sale from exceeding what a customer can actually afford to owe.

The solution

A one-tap Pay Later tender that shows available credit before the sale is confirmed, hard-blocks anything over a customer's limit unless a manager approves it, splits the balance into a configurable installment schedule, and posts every installment to a live aging ledger — so finance always knows what is outstanding.

Capabilities

Everything a deferred sale needs

Every capability below is implemented in the module.

01

Hard credit-limit enforcement

A per-customer credit limit blocks a pay-later sale the moment it would exceed available credit, right inside the payment screen, with a clear on-screen reason.

02

Manager credit-approval queue

Over-limit sales route to a dedicated approval queue where a manager approves or declines with full order and customer context, instead of a silent dead end.

03

Configurable installment plans

Define reusable plans by installment count, interval, and first-due delay, then split any deferred sale into a scheduled series automatically.

04

Installment ledger with aging

Every installment shows residual amount, state, and an aging bucket in one list, so finance can see overdue exposure at a glance and drill into any line.

05

Live available-credit banner

The payment screen shows the selected customer's outstanding balance and available credit before the tender is even chosen, so cashiers see the risk before it happens.

06

Per-method transaction cap

Set a maximum single-transaction amount on the Pay Later payment method itself, independent of the customer's overall credit limit.

07

Register payments and settle

Collect against a single installment or settle a customer's outstanding balance directly from the backend, with the ledger updating in real time.

08

Customer pay-later profile

Every customer record shows credit limit, current outstanding balance, and available credit, plus a stat button straight into their installments.

09

Full order-level traceability

Every POS order shows its deferred amount, linked installment plan, and settlement state, with a one-click button into its installments.

Workflow

How it works

1

Configure limits and plans

Set a credit limit per customer, define installment plans, and cap the maximum amount the Pay Later method will accept in one transaction.

2

Sell at the till

The cashier selects the customer and taps Pay Later; the available-credit banner shows what the customer can still spend before the sale confirms.

3

Enforce or route for approval

A sale within limit closes instantly; an over-limit sale is blocked and can be routed to a manager's approval queue instead of stalling the lane.

4

Track and settle

Installments post to the ledger with aging buckets; register a payment or settle the full balance from the backend whenever the customer pays.
