credit sales

Hello,

We are a fishing shop in Mauritius (store: Seven Shots). Some customers take items today and pay part now and the rest later.

We saw the "Account receivable" workaround on the Loyverse Community (topic 4801 – Credit sales):

- add a payment type "Account receivable" (type Other)

- attach the customer to the ticket and split the payment (Cash + Account receivable)

- when the customer pays the balance, refund the old receipt and create a new receipt.

Our questions:

1. Is there now a built-in way in Loyverse to record a customer's unpaid balance (credit / pay later) and record the later payment, without refunding the original receipt?

2. If we use the refund + new receipt method, will the original sale and its VAT stay in the month of the original sale, with the refund and new receipt only in the month of the final payment?

3. Can we see a report of the outstanding balance per customer (who owes us how much)?

4. Is there a way to record a customer deposit (advance payment) before the customer takes the items, with VAT handled correctly?

Thank you,
