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.

Tip: You can use the A/R Process Credit Card Payments screen to process credit card payments for multiple pending invoices (invoices with outstanding payments), and to create receipts for the processed payments. For more information, see A/R Process Credit Card Payments Screen.

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 Paya credit card payment.

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

   The Processing Code field appears, along with a status field that displays information about the status of the credit card transaction. More...

   If a single processing code exists for the bank you selected, that code appears in the Processing Code field. If no default appears, you can select a processing code that specifies the bank you selected for the batch.

4. Enter remaining transaction details, as usual, and then click the Add button.

   The Charge and Quick Charge buttons become available.

   • Quick Charge. If you click this button, no further steps are required to process the payment. More...

     Note: To use Quick Charge, information required for the transaction must already be entered in your system. For more information, see About Quick Processing for Credit Card Transactions.
