Context

Since this discount is not related to the fees of a subscription, we will directly adjust the customer’s balance by adding a credit line. Once created, this credit line will be taken into account during the next billing cycle.

- Click on “Subscribers” from the left menu.
- Select the relevant customer.
- Then click on the “Balance” tab.
2) Open the form to add a Credit Line
Once on the balance page:
- From the “Actions” menu, click on “Add a credit“.
3) Fill in the Credit Line creation form
Provide the following information:
- Description
- Discount amount in pre-tax value
- Specify the line type as: “Manual input – discount”
4) Save
Remember to click on the “Save” button to finalize the creation of the credit line.
5) Edit an invoice
You can now edit an invoice with the items listed in the customer’s balance.
