Create and Manage House Accounts
Learn how to create and manage House Accounts in the Back Office and use them for payments at the POS.
House Accounts give your most trusted customers the flexibility to pay on a schedule you define. Instead of settling up at checkout, they charge purchases to their account and pay later — simple, controlled, and easy to manage inside Vori.
