This can be used for EFT (online bank transfers), paypal, bitcoin etc. For more information on how this works, see Payment Options in the help file . In previous versions this customized payment option was only available for normal sales and not for account payments. In version 5.42 that was just released, this payment option is also now available when account payments is done. Customer accounts with customer statements and reports are available in both the Retail Point of Sale System and the Restaurant Point of Sale system of ROBOTILL.
