Customer Fund / Credit Management

In this article

Customer funds, customer credit, and the Wallet balance refer to the credit a customer has with your shop. Use it to pay an order or hold an overpayment for later. Deposit and Withdraw change the recorded balance without charging or refunding a card or bank account.

Action What happens
Deposit Adds to the customer's wallet balance.
Withdraw Reduces the wallet balance.
Apply Credit Moves credit from the wallet to an order payment.
Issue Credit Moves an available overpayment from the order back to the wallet.

    Open the paid order's invoice

  2. Click Edit in the invoice window.

    Edit the invoice

Review fund history

Wallet & fund history on Finance & Assigned lists deposits, withdrawals, credit applied to orders, and credit returned from orders. The Type column shows TRANSFER for every entry; use Reference and the signed amount to identify the change.

Wallet balance and four fund-history entries

A plus amount adds to the wallet; a minus amount reduces it. In this example, $150 added, $30 withdrawn, $100 applied, and $48 returned leave a $68 wallet balance.

What customers see in the Customer Portal

Customer Portal screens

The Customer Portal screens may have changed since this picture was taken. See the Customer Portal guide for an overview.

The Customer Portal dashboard shows Available Credit, the balance the customer can use toward future orders.

Available Credit in the original Customer Portal dashboard

Your shop applies the credit from the sales order. Customers cannot apply wallet credit themselves during checkout, so ask them to request it from your shop before paying online. They can review payment transactions on their orders; your team reviews the full wallet history under Finance & Assigned.

Common questions

Can I manually correct the customer's credit?

Yes. Use Deposit or Withdraw in Adjust fund and include a reference that explains the correction.

What happens when I void a paid order?

For an order created in YoPrint, voiding the order transfers its remaining payments to the customer's wallet. Shopify orders follow separate payment handling; this automatic wallet transfer does not apply to them. For a money refund, record a withdrawal from the wallet and refund the original payment separately.

Can credit cover only part of an order?

Yes. Apply a custom amount of available credit, then record the remaining payment through the method the customer uses.

Can I refund the customer's credit balance?

Yes. Record a Withdraw adjustment for the amount being returned, and process the refund externally. The wallet adjustment does not send money to the customer.

Is there a credit-limit setting?

Neither Adjust fund nor Billing & terms has a credit-limit field. The wallet records the credit your shop holds for that customer.

Will the customer receive an automatic credit notification?

YoPrint does not automatically email the customer when you adjust their wallet credit. Let the customer know separately when they need an update.
