Processing a Credit Card Payment

Process a credit card payment through the Transactions button panel on the POS view. Other checkout options are cash, debit, gift card, cheque, split tender and store credit. Credit card payments are processed differently depending on whether you are an integrated or a non-integrated merchant.

PAYD Pro PlusTM also supports processing payments on an invoice and putting items on layaway. For details, see Invoicing Sales and Putting Items on Layaway.

NOTE: Before checking out from a sale, you can apply a discount to it.

 

Integrated Credit Card Payment

If your PAYD Pro Plus In-Store Solution is integrated with Moneris® payment processing, you will be processing integrated credit card payments.

NOTE: Card type is determined by the processing response received by PAYD Pro Plus. If you select a credit card payment, but a debit card is used, the transaction is processed as a debit transaction and recorded as such on receipts and reports.

To process an integrated credit card payment:

  1. Process the transaction: assign a customer (optional), add products to the bill, adjust quantities or prices, apply discounts (if applicable).

  2. On the POS view Transactions button panel, click Credit.

  3. If the assigned customer has outstanding store credit, a popup prompt appears asking if you would like to use it as the payment method. Do one of the following:

  1. If your store is set to prompt for the commission employee, the Employee search popup appears. Select an employee by clicking  their name in the list.
    The Credit Card Purchase popup appears.

  1. If you want to print a gift receipt, select the Gift receipt checkbox.

  1. Click the Swipe or Insert/Swipe button.
