This article explains how to set up purchase order payments for your Web60 account.
What Are Purchase Order Payments
Purchase order (PO) payments let you pay using your company's purchasing system instead of a credit card. This is useful for businesses that need formal purchase orders for their accounting or procurement processes.
With PO payments, Web60 sends you an invoice that references your purchase order number. You then pay the invoice through your normal business payment process.
Before You Start
Purchase order payments are only available for business accounts. You'll need:
- A registered business in Ireland
- Your company registration number
- Authority to set up purchase orders for your business
- Your company's billing address
You must also update your business details in your Web60 account before requesting PO payments.
How to Request Purchase Order Payments
Step 1: Contact Web60 Support
Purchase order payments must be set up manually by the Web60 support team. Email support with your request, including:
- Your Web60 account email address
- Your company name and registration number
- Your preferred purchase order format (if you have specific requirements)
- Your accounts payable email address
Step 2: Provide Business Documentation
Web60 support will ask you to verify your business details. You may need to provide:
- Certificate of incorporation or business registration
- Recent utility bill or bank statement showing your business address
- VAT registration certificate (if applicable)
Step 3: Set Up Payment Terms
The support team will discuss payment terms with you, including:
- Payment due dates (typically 30 days)
- Late payment charges
- Minimum order requirements
- Invoice delivery preferences
Step 4: Test the Process
Once approved, Web60 will send you a test invoice to ensure the process works with your accounts system. Check that:
- The invoice reaches your accounts team
- All required information is included
- Your purchase order number appears correctly
- Payment instructions are clear
Managing Your Purchase Orders
After setup, Web60 will:
- Generate invoices automatically based on your billing cycle
- Include your purchase order reference on each invoice
- Send invoices to your designated accounts payable contact
- Send payment reminders if invoices become overdue
You can still access your account and manage your websites normally. Only the payment method changes.
Important Notes
- Purchase order setup usually takes 3-5 business days
- Your account must remain in good standing
- Late payments may result in service suspension
- You can switch back to card payments at any time
If you're still stuck, contact Web60 support for help with your purchase order setup.
