Choose your default payment terms

  • Due on - Choose each invoice's due date as you create the invoice.
  • Days from end of this month - Invoices will be due the specified number of days from the end of the month they're issued in.
  • Days from invoice date - Invoices will be due the specified number of days after the invoice's Date of issue.
