Idea....

Registered clients have credit accounts.

Why can't they logon to a special page, "Pay Balance" and make a credit card payment to account clearing balances post-order?

It would take only a product with user variables to do that.

No "real" product just a virtual one acheiving payment.

Hi David

I think this would be quite a complex thing to do automatically. It would require further calculations either in the desktop application or in a secure file on the web server for each customer account, to accumulate the amounts of previous unpaid orders.

You could do something manually if each customer account is using a different price schedule ... Create a product called Credit Balance with an arbitrary price. Disable the product for the retail schedule and manually enter the price for each schedule according to what the customer owes. The customer will only see their own balance and can select to pay it off.
