Need $0 Invoice for customers who I trade my service to.

[MatRx]

I have customers who I trade service with.    How do I create an invoice that shows $0 or 100% discount so that I can show their booking in the calendar, etc?

But, why?

[ehflower · Accepted solution]

you can create a specified payment and call it Trade for services credit.  

Create your invoice

apply at payment screen the trade for service credit  (this will be listed on your end of day report under total collected "Other"

however it will show up as total collected you will have to ask your accountant on how to reconcile it with your accounting software  it will also keep track of any sales taxes

go to dashboard

settings

payments toggle

payment methods custom payment method (i am in beta) so might not be released yet

add payment method

running:

 square  for retail plus and invoices plus

hope that helps

This was marked as the solution.   While it's definitely a workaround, it's not a solution.    This should be something that is built into the platform.

I schedule their service as if they were a normal client, then have a discount called GIVEAWAY or TradeForServices at 100% off. I mark that when the service is completed so it shows up in my service calendar and sends appointment reminders.
