Direct order that means one can pay later? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

credit

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'order that means one can pay later?' is the definition.
'credit' can be an answer for 'order' (credit order is a kind of order). I'm not sure about the rest of the definition.

'direct' is the wordplay.
'direct' anagrams to 'CREDIT'.
But, I am not sure how this is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for credit that I've seen before include "gives you a good result in examination" , "Acknowledgement given for deed or quality" , "Approval" , "This bank balance is a plus" , "entry in cashbook" .)
