Account Funds Version 1.x

Introduction

This version is no longer available, we have updated to Version 2, this document is for customers who have yet to update. The Account Funds plugin allows your customers to deposit funds into their accounts, and use them to purchase items from your store with ease. Using account funds to pay for an order instantly sets its status to “processing” because there’s no need to wait for checks to clear and for cards to be verified and processed. You can also give customers discounts for paying for orders using their account funds.
