On Aryeo, Photographers can now add a transaction (credit or debit) to specific clients for future use. This can be done as an alternative to a refund, a referral credit, or even as a promotion. On the opposite end, you can debit their balance if they have credits that need to be applied and payment has not been made on their end.

Adding a Credit/Debit transaction to a Customer’s profile.

If you would like to use this feature, head on over to the customer section of your Aryeo account. From there, edit any customer to whom you will be adding a credit/debit transaction, then go into their "Billing" tab, click on add transaction and select Credit or Debit.

For the full step-by-step, follow the instructions below:

  1. Head over to the Customers section of your Aryeo account. From there click on the Edit link to go into/edit a customer's profile.

2. Once you have gone into the "Edit" page of the customer of your choosing, click on the "Billing" tab.

3. Under Transaction Type, click on "Add Transaction" and select Credit or Debit. Then add in the Amount, the posting date (when the debit/credit becomes active), and lastly, add a description about why the credit/debit is being applied before clicking on the Create Transaction button.

Note: Adding a debit transaction will deduct the amount from your credit balance.

As a photographer:

Once you’ve added a credit transaction under the customer’s billing tab, open the corresponding order, and then click on the Collect Payment button, and then click on the Apply $ Credit button.
