vendor credit

**vendor credit**

A vendor credit is an accounting transaction used to record a reduction in the amount owed to a supplier or vendor. It typically occurs when goods are returned, an overpayment is made, or a discount is granted after an invoice has been issued. In accounting and bookkeeping within WordPress or any e-commerce setup, applying a vendor credit helps keep financial records accurate by offsetting future purchases or payments, ensuring that you only pay what you truly owe to your vendors.
