cash sales

Paid with bills

Cash sales are transactions where payment is made immediately at the time of purchase, as opposed to credit arrangements where payment is deferred.

The term applies whether the buyer uses actual currency, a check, or a debit card—the key distinction is that no credit is extended: The store offers a discount on cash sales.

In accounting, cash sales appear as immediate revenue rather than accounts receivable.
