After July 2021, the 2.3.x release line no longer received quality updates or user guide updates. PHP 7.3 reached end of support in December 2021, and Adobe Commerce 2.3.x reached end of support in September 2022. We strongly recommend upgrading to Adobe Commerce 2.4.x to help maintain PCI compliance.

Payment on Account is an offline payment method that allows companies to make purchases up to the credit limit that is specified in their profile. Payment on Account can be enabled globally, or per company, and appears during checkout only if enabled. When Payment on Account is used as a payment method, a message appears at the top of the order that indicates the status of the account. To configure this payment method for a specific company, see Updating a Company Profile.
