sheepCRM can now facilitate users wishing to purchase tickets (an order) via sheepApp, or internal flock users adding orders to a sheepEvent with the option to select to pay by invoice.
This is a sheepCRM Invoice - which you should consider as a payment mechanism (a way to collect payment). This invoice is part of a wider feature which is an order statement as you will see below.
This feature is not mandatory and you do have full control over whether to allow/not allow the option to pay by sheepCRM invoice for event orders by adjusting your settings accordingly. The following options are available:
All events tickets
All tickets for a specific event
Individual ticket classes on a specific event.
See here for further information on Contacts Events Bookings and Tickets (non Invoice related)
