How to Record a Quick Sale With Just an Amount in Oja

Sometimes you just need to write down what was paid. Just an amount works exactly like your sales notebook: type the amount, add a note, choose how they paid, and save.

Before you start

  • Sign in to the Oja app.
  • You do not need to add products for this. It is perfect for small, quick sales and services.

Which plan has it:Every plan. The free Apprentice plan records up to 10 sales a month; Odogwu and Chairman are unlimited.

Tips that save time

  • Choose Not paid when a customer will pay later. Oja adds it to what they owe you, so you can remind them.
  • Use Part paid when they pay some now: Oja records what was paid and keeps the rest as a balance.
  • Use a full sale (Customer is here) for items you track in stock, so your counts stay right.
