Within TutorCruncher, a Credit Request is a request for upfront payment from a Client so that credit might be applied to their account to be used to pay for future tutoring services rendered to them. When a Client pays a Credit Request, their Client balance will increase accordingly - the credit on their account can then be used to pay for Lessons invoiced against their name.
Note: Credit Requests act as a means for Clients to add credit to their account. You will still need to issue Invoices in order to deduct that credit and keep your Clients’ accounts up to date.
