Key Points
Accounts in Bustle are used to defer payments for orders, allowing transactions to be processed across multiple cash-up days.
After going through this article, check out how Accounts and Vouchers work on your Bustle Hub.
If you're looking to send a summary of an account electronically, check out how in our article on saving a PDF from your Bustle hub.
You can also chase up that money owed by sending invoices directly from Bustle using Bustle Pay.
Detailed Steps
Create an account
Accounts are created and managed on the Bustle Till app.

Press the Create Button, and select Account.
Fill in the simple details of the account.
Select the Account Type.

Press the Edit icon and make your changes. Then press Save.
Credit an Account
If a customer wishes to pay money onto an account before making orders, that's great! Here's how...
Head to Settings > Accounts & Vouchers
Locate the account and press to display the account details on the right.
Press Pay Account.
Enter the amount they wish to pay into the calculator and pay by Card or Cash.
The payment will now appear against the account. In this case we have a 15% discount, so that is applied, meaning that for their $200 credit, they will be receiving $235.29 of value.
Assign Orders to an Account
When you have an order, tab or table to assign to an account, you can do this in the pay screen.
Open the order/tab/table and press Pay
Select Accounts & Vouchers
Locate or search for the account and select it.
Press Assign at the bottom right.
Confirm at this point that this is the correct account (as it is hard to remove an order once assigned) - and press Confirm, or print to get a signature from the customer.
If an assigned amount exceeds the limit set for the customer, a warning will appear on the confirmation page. It will not stop the assignment if Confirm is pressed by a staff member.
View an Account
At any time you can view an account and print off a summary
Head to Settings > Accounts & Vouchers
Locate the account and press to display the account details on the right.
Here you can view any history (credits or partial payments and all assignments made). Press the rows to drop down and show more detail.
To print an itemised summary of the account, click the icon at the top right and press Print Summary.
Pay an Account
Head to Settings > Accounts & Vouchers
Locate the account and press to display the account details on the right.

Archiving an account can only be done when the balance is $0.00

Or Press the edit button, press ARCHIVE at the top right, and press Archive again on the pop-up confirmation.
