A processing code specifies the bank, currency, and merchant account that will be used to process a credit card transaction. Before you can process credit card transactions, you must set up at least one processing code with the merchant ID and merchant key for a Sage Payment Solutions merchant account.
On the Payment Processing Codes setup screen, you can create multiple processing codes to specify different combinations of merchant account, currency, and bank.
Say you use separate merchant accounts to process credit card transactions for your web store and retail outlet, but you use the same bank and currency for each account. You could set up two processing codes called WEBSTORE and RETAIL that use the same bank and currency, and then specify the merchant account to be used for each code.
After setting up processing codes, you select a processing code when entering a credit card transaction, or when entering credit card information for a customer in Accounts Receivable.
You can use the same merchant account information in multiple processing codes. However, each merchant code is linked to a single currency, so all processing codes that use a common merchant account must also use the currency for that merchant account.
If you use multicurrency accounting, you must apply for a Sage Payment Solutions merchant account for each currency in which you will process credit card transactions.

You can use the Payment Processing Codes screen to modify and delete processing codes you have set up, as long as they have not been specified for saved credit cards or used in any transactions.
If a processing code has been specified for a saved credit card in Accounts Receivable, or if it has been used to process a credit card transaction, you cannot modify or delete the processing code.
