A billing credit, also known as a credit invoice or credit memo, is a way to detail a refund or credit to an invoice. For example, you may issue a billing credit if a customer asks for a refund or if you decide to give a customer a credit for any reason, like a promotional offer.
Before a billing credit can be added to an invoice, you need to create the credit on the Credits Dashboard. Canopy's Credits feature allows you to credit a client's account.
