What can happen if the "(In Arrears)" feature is enabled?

When the "(In Arrears)" feature is enabled, payments are processed after the service has been delivered. This means that the organization bills its customers after providing the service or delivering the product, rather than requiring payment upfront or in advance. This can be beneficial in scenarios where the service is ongoing, such as with subscriptions or contracts, allowing customers to only pay once they have utilized the service for the period covered by the invoice.

In contrast, if invoices were required to be generated upfront, that would not align with the concept of being "in arrears." Similarly, billing only at the end of the contract or processing payments in advance would also contradict the function of the "in arrears" setting, which ensures cash flow aligns with service delivery rather than prepayment or delayed billing. Thus, receiving payments after the actual service delivery creates a more flexible arrangement for customers while allowing the service provider to manage cash flow effectively.
