How to mark a Maxanet bidder as a Cash Buyer on the Invoices page

Turn on the Cash Buyer toggle for a Maxanet bidder so their invoices show a ($) icon — so you know not to auto-charge their credit card at invoicing time.

Overview

The Maxanet Cash Buyer toggle adds a visual dollar-sign ($) icon next to a bidder's invoices on the Invoices page, so the admin team can see at a glance which bidders typically pay in cash and therefore should not have their saved credit card automatically charged. The toggle itself does not block credit card charges — it is a visual reminder — so make sure your invoicing workflow respects the cash-buyer flag before batch-charging.

How to enable the Cash Buyer toggle from the Users list

From your Maxanet Admin panel, open Users → Users, find the bidder you want to mark, click the 3-dot Actions menu on the far right of their row, and select Enable Cash Buyer. The change takes effect immediately.

How to enable the Cash Buyer toggle from the bidder profile

Alternatively, click the bidder's user number to open their profile. In the right column of the profile, find the Cash Buyer toggle switch and flip it to ON. Either path has the same effect.

How the Cash Buyer flag appears on the Invoices page

Once a bidder is marked as a Cash Buyer, every invoice belonging to that bidder displays a dollar-sign ($) icon in the third column (Bidder Details) on the Invoices tab. Your admin team can use this visual cue to skip these bidders when batch-charging credit cards at invoicing time, and instead collect payment in cash at pickup.

Common questions

Does the Cash Buyer toggle prevent Maxanet from charging the bidder's credit card?

No. The toggle is a visual flag only — it shows a ($) icon on the Invoices page so your admin team knows not to charge the card. Your invoicing workflow must still respect the flag manually or through your batch-charge filters.

Can I turn off the Cash Buyer flag later?

Yes. Use the same Actions menu or profile toggle to switch it back off. The ($) icon disappears from future invoice views.

Is this the same as marking a bidder as CC Not Required?

No. CC Not Required is a global registration setting; Cash Buyer is a per-bidder visual flag for invoicing. They are independent.
