Multiple items per order, or one charge?

[triadwebzone]

This might be a dumb question, but If I want to enter in multiple product purchases for a client through the admin area, is there a way to either put multiple items on one order, or charge the client's credit card once for all the orders I put in for them?

Take the option to *not* generate an invoice on each product, then when you're finished on the client-summary page in the admin area click "generate due invoices

[triadwebzone]

So doing that will charge the client's credit card a total of once and encompass all invoices generated at the time, instead of once for each individual invoice?

[triadwebzone]

Also, what about a way to merge existing invoices together? We're having an issue where a client has a bunch of invoices generated for one large order, and I don't know how to undo it so they only get charged once. I'm trying to avoid being put in this situation in the future, hence my first question.

Existing invoices cannot be merged. You'd need to cancel one invoice and then manually add the items to the other invoice.

That kind of sucks for me (and a lot of others too) - specially when using proforma invoices. Some of my clients get like 5 different proforma invoices in like 1 week, and they like to pay all together in one payment. then i need to make 5 invoices and that is just dumb since it makes my accounting hard, costs higher and it takes time.

 

Merging PROFORMA invoices (unpaid invoices that is) would be a good idea.

They can do that anyway, and they can "combine" invoices into a new summary invoice in the client area - no change needed...
