  1. Return charge collection. How a return or RTO charge is collected: deducted at the merchant’s next settlement (the default), or collected in cash by the return driver at drop-off, who confirms it in the Rider app.
  2. Card payment fee. A percentage from 0 to 10 (default 0). It is charged to the merchant on amounts paid by card at the door, with VAT when VAT is on, and deducted at settlement or invoiced. A merchant’s own fee in Merchants wins.
  3. New merchant payment terms. What a new merchant starts with: Cash, Credit or Both.
  4. Invoices due after. 1 to 90 days (default 7). An unpaid invoice is Overdue after that.
  5. Block orders on overdue invoices. Off by default. On, an invoice-mode merchant with an overdue invoice cannot create orders until it pays. Orders from stores and the API are held.
  6. Cash with drivers longer than. In clock hours, 1 to 168 (default 24). Longer than this, the cash shows in Needs attention. You can also change it from Needs attention › Timers.
  7. Cash with the cashier longer than. The same for the cashier, 12 hours by default.

Screens are simplified drawings with sample data. Your portal may look a little different, but the names and steps are the same.
