💳 Payment Options (For POS or B2B Orders)

Payment Method

Buyer Experience

💳 Pay by Card (Online)

Buyer logs in → Clicks Pay Now → Pays securely by credit card → Status auto-updates to Paid

💼 Offline Payment (Cash, EFT, Bank Transfer, Check)

You download invoice → Send to buyer → Once paid offline, click Mark as Paid (Manual) in your dashboard

💡 All orders — whether POS or B2B — show the same payment options in the buyer view.

📦 After Payment: Fulfill & Track

Once marked as Paid:

● ✅ Order status updates to Ready for Fulfillment

● 🚚 You can update delivery/shipping stage from dashboard

● 📄 You can print, resend, or download the invoice anytime

● 👁 Both producer and buyer can track progress in Order History

🎯 Best Practices for Producers

✔ Always set unpaid POS orders to $0.00 so they become invoice-based
Download and send invoices quickly for offline buyers
✔ Use Mark as Paid to close out manual/EFT transactions
✔ Keep all orders in dashboard to maintain clean records & financial tracking
