# Sales Basis Method

The sales basis method recognizes all revenue at the time of sale.

For example, if a customer purchases goods or service from your website, and
the goods or services are immediately digitally delivered to the customer.

ChargeOver recognizes all revenue as soon as the invoice is created.

## When to use the sales-basis method

Use this method because delivery of the good or service is immediate.

Talk to your accountant or tax advisor!

Your accountant or tax advisor is your best resource for determining how your business should be recognizing revenue.
