An Instalment Plan purchase allows products to be sold to a customer and then paid for over a period of time in smaller payment amounts. A variety of methods are available to calculate the instalment plan final figure and payment period, as well as the repayment amounts. The system automatically creates cardlines on the relevant customer's invoices for the required instalment payment amount, per the instalment plan's configuration. Customers may also make additional payments on their instalment plans, or finalise or break out of the instalment plan.

Overview

Emersion provides service providers with the ability to sell products to customers in a number of ways:

An outright purchase is a sale where the goods are provided to the customer and the customer is either invoiced immediately, or at the end of their next billing period.

Instalment Plans provide a way for the customer to pay off the total purchase price over a period of time.

A Recurring Purchase is a simple way to charge the customer an amount at regular intervals for a period of time.

Starting a new Product Purchase

There are two ways to navigate to the Purchase function in Cumulus.

Nav: Customers > Customer List

  1. Search for the customer using the customer search.
  2. Click the Create Purchase icon (pictured below as a shopping cart)

Starting a purchase easily straight from the customer list


Alternatively if you are in the Customer Screen you can start a purchase via the Customer > Purchase tab.
