Zero Payment Method:
The Zero Payment payment method is used by the system when an invoice is opened without taking payment. It is also used for transactions where the total is $0 (as in, when packages are applied).
The Zero Payment payment method is used by the system automatically when you check out a customer with the 'Quick Checkout' feature and when the customer is paying with package credits.
Important! Your application can only have one "Zero Payment" method and, to avoid confusion in your reporting, it is generally advised that you keep this single payment method as the "No Payment" payment method that was shipped with your application.
Important! Do not use Zero Payment for Cash, Check, Credit Card, Donation, Admin, etc.
ADMIN (Credit/Comped):
