Finance

If you sell on credit, or buy from suppliers on terms, this is where you track both ends: what people owe you and what you owe.

One account per customer and per supplier

Every customer you extend credit to has their account, and every supplier you owe has theirs. The customer or supplier has to be set up first: an account is opened for someone who already exists.

The top shows where you stand

What you're owed, what you owe, how much is overdue and how the two balance out. It updates with every entry you record.

The part that helps most is Aging

It splits what you're owed by how long it's been overdue: current, 1 to 30 days, 31 to 60, 61 to 90, and over 90. The more money piles up on the 90 side, the harder it gets to collect.

Record what they take and what they pay

When they take something on credit, you add the amount; when they pay, you record it and it comes off the oldest thing they owed first. If you sell to them at the counter, you can charge it to their account and the entry is made on its own.

How much credit you give

For each customer you set a limit and the grace days you give them after it's due. With suppliers you note how many days you pay them in, and the due date is worked out for you.

The summary of the day: how much came in, how many orders you did and what you made. It stays a draft until you finalize it, and then it becomes your official record.

Draft first, official after

You generate the close and the numbers come out on their own. While it's a draft you can correct it: adjust the cash you counted and leave a note if something odd happened. Once you finalize it, it's locked and can't be touched.

You can do it the next day

You don't have to do it with the shop open and people waiting. You can generate the close for an earlier date calmly, the next morning.

Download it for your accountant

You export the period's closes as a spreadsheet. That's what you send your accountant, or keep as your own backup outside the system.

If something was missing, generate it again

If you entered a sale after generating the close, you delete the draft and generate it again with everything in. Inside each close you see how you did against the day before and the same weekday last week.

You pick the payment methods you show the customer when they buy from you online: cash, bank transfer, digital wallet, a QR code or a link.

Your money doesn't pass through us

Unless you connect Mercado Pago, Winkels doesn't process the payment: the customer pays you directly —transfers you the money, sends the receipt on WhatsApp— and you mark the order as paid by hand. Each method shows the customer exactly the details they need to pay you.

With Mercado Pago it collects itself

If you link your Mercado Pago account, the customer pays by card or with their balance and the order is marked paid without you doing anything. The money goes into your account, and Winkels takes nothing from that sale: whatever Mercado Pago charges to process it is between them and you.

Cash always stays

Every shop starts with cash, and it can't be deleted or switched off: it's the one payment method that depends on nothing, so the customer always has a way to pay you. What you can do is rename it and add a note, something like «small notes only».
