If a customer doesn&#39;t have money on them, is there way to put down their information so that they pay later for what they took?
<p>I want to sell articles of clothing but it is possible that the individual doesn't have money on them. Can I put down their information and have them sign to where they can walk away with the article of clothing and pay me later?</p>

<h2>Yes</h2>

<p>The document is called an invoice and the customer has taken the clothing “on account”. Most businesses of any size outside the retail sector operate this way.</p>

<p>Remember that you are effectively lending your customer money. What are the terms of this loan? What are you going to do when/if they don’t pay? You need to deal with this either in your sale contract or a separate credit contract.</p>
