Processing a Credit Card Payment

If you use Payment Processing, you can use the A/R Receipt Entry screen to process a credit card payment for a receipt, prepayment, or miscellaneous receipt, or for unapplied cash.

For information about using the A/R Invoice Entry screen to process a credit card prepayment, see Entering a Prepayment with an Invoice.

To process a credit card payment:

1. Open Accounts Receivable > A/R Transactions > Receipt Entry.

2. On the A/R Receipt Entry screen, create or select the document for which you want to process a Sage Payment Solutions credit card payment.

   Note: The transaction type for the document must be Receipt, Prepayment, Unapplied Cash, or Miscellaneous Receipt.

3. Select a payment code that uses the payment type SPS Credit Card.

   Tip: Click the Payment Code Finder to see a list of payment codes and associated payment types.
