Set default contact payment terms

This article explains how to set default payment terms for a specific contact, for example 30 days.

Please note that all future invoices for that contact will default to those payments terms. Any existing invoices (including draft invoices) will not be changed. If you want to update any existing invoices, you'll need to edit these manually.

If you have any existing recurring invoice profiles set up for this contact, these will also remain unchanged. If you want to update the payment terms for a recurring invoice, you can edit the recurring invoice profile.

Select the ‘Contacts’ tab at the top of the screen.

Scroll down to the 'Invoicing Options' section and enter the number of days in the 'Default Payment Terms' field, for example 30.
