Using Magento 2 NET.30

Placing Orders on NET.30 Deferred Payment

NET.30 for Magento 2 is integrated into the native Magento 2 checkout functionality and shows up the design that all the Magento 2 users are familiar with.

Regular Checkout

Customers eligible for the Net.30 deferred payment will see it as an option on the list of payment methods at checkout. Ticking the corresponding radio-button shoppers will be asked to indicate their billing and shipping addresses, as well as to provide a purchase order number. Shoppers do the latter within the Purchase Order Number text-box. They are free to enter a line of any characters but to match their internal standards and regulations. 

Multi-address Checkout

Checkout with multiple addresses follows the native Magento 2 functionality as well. Go to cart and click the Check Out with Multiple Addresses active link. Checkout with multiple addresses is not available for Pay Now functionality.

The link will redirect customers to the page where addresses are to be specified. Shoppers will also be able to alter the quantity of the products in cart or remove the items from the list. A customer can pay several credits in one order.

Clicking the Go to Shipping Information blue button on the left will take you further into the process.

On the next step, the Billing information page will feature all the available for multi-address payment methods. Clicking on the corresponding radio-button and selecting Aheadworks NET.30 will ask customers to enter a PO number and proceed with the Go to Review Your Order button.

Pay Now Option

Customers are able to pay for their credit with Pay Now functionality. When a customer clicks on the ‘Pay Now’ button, it redirects to the cart page. Сustomer from the company is allowed to pay for other customers' credit from the same company.  The customer should have a permission to view the company’s orders. 

Shopping cart contains a Net30 product (virtual). The Net30 product is created automatically on the backend. 

Orders on Backend

The NET.30 for Magento 2 extension enhances the native Magento 2 functionality on the backend as well. It allows selecting the NET.30 deferred payment method for orders created by an admin on the backend. Follow the official Magento 2 guide to learn how to create orders from the backend.

The Create New Order page will feature the NET.30 payment in the list of payment methods in the appropriate block. Selecting the method will open the Purchase Order Number text-box, where an appropriate PO number is to be entered. 

Monitoring Payback

To monitor orders made on the deferral payment terms, proceed to Store → Sales → NET.30 by Aheadworks → Orders.

The page will show a grid aggregating all the orders made on the NET.30 deferral payment terms. The columns will come as follows:

• Customer Name - the name of the customer;
• Customer Email - the email of the customer;
• Customer Group - the group the customer belongs to (only eligible groups will feature here);
• Payment Days - the number of days set for debt acquittance;
• Order # - the identification number of the order as assigned by Magento 2 internal mechanisms.
• PO number - the number of the purchase order as set on order placement;
• Order Date - the date the order was placed;
• Order Status - the current status of the order;
• Order Grand Total - the grand total price on the order;
• Due Date - the deadline for debt pay-back (=Order Date + Payment Days);
• Overdue - the number of days the payment has been overdue (=Current date - Due date; when payment is overdue the value herein is negative and in red);
• Payment order - shows the payment order id;
• Due Amount - displays the amount that the customer must return.

The Order # is an active link here to redirect you to the relevant Order page. This is where you can change the status of the order on receipt of the payback and close the period of debt acquittance.

Scroll down the Order page to the Order Total block and select the status of the order which closes the period of payment (Paid by default and in the example above). Type in your comment to the customer and click on the Submit Comment button. 

On clicking the Submit Comment button, the corresponding entry in the NET.30 Orders grid will get updated, and the countdown to payback acquittance will be stopped. The deal may be considered complete since then.

Should there be a mistake in payment or any other need in rolling back the above operation, go back to the Orders page, opt for a different order status than the one to close the payment period, and click on the Submit Comment button.

A pop-up will appear to suggest you one of the two:

• Reset calculation of days remaining towards debt acquittance and start anew (click on Reset);
• Start the counter again from the point where it was put on halt with the previous operation (click on No).
