About Processing Credit Card Payments

To accept a credit card for payment on an invoice, you specify Credit Card as the method of payment. After you click the Charge button, you enter the credit card information and process the charge. The purchase is processed online through your Merchant Account. The quick results allow you to confirm or deny the purchase in a matter of minutes.

Note, only when you have a merchant account setup will the screen to capture credit card information appear. Otherwise, the payment will just be identified as having been paid with a credit card.

If you are processing credit card payments through a merchant, before you can process the charge, you need to get the customer’s credit card information:

• Credit card number
• Expiration date
• Actual name on card
• Amount of the charge
• Credit Card CVV
