Will the credit automatically be credited against the next debit that I pass or will it just show as a credit on the statement?

I know a few ways to deal with customer credits in QuickBooks Online, hermina.

 

If the customer pays you more, there are three options for handling their credits.

 

The first option is to apply it to the following invoice. You can do it by following the steps outlined below:

 

  1. Click on + New.
  2. Choose Receive payment.
  3. Pick the customer, then the credit and the invoice.
  4. Select another pending invoice and enter the overpayment amount in its Payment column.
  5. Hit Save and new or Save and close.

 

If you want to apply it to the new invoice, follow these steps:

 

  1. Click + New.
  2. Choose Invoice.
  3. Create the invoice.
  4. Hit + New then Receive payment.
  5. Select the credit and then Save and new or Save and close.
