How to Pay a Vendor via Credit Card

Before you can begin paying any invoices via Credit Card, you must set up a Credit Card as a payment method

Administration > Set Up > Banking > Credit Cards

It is recommended to use a specific Credit Card GL Account Number or a Credit Card Clearing GL Account Number (this will make paying the Credit Card Invoice easier, when the invoice comes in)
Set up the Credit Card Payment Method (Payment Due Dates)

Administration > Setup > Banking > Credit Card Payment Methods

1. Name = Could be a Term Code or Credit Card Name
2. Card = is the Payment Method for a Specific Credit Card or All Credit Cards
3. Payment Code = the same concept as Payment Terms
4. Min. Credit Voucher = to set a minimum Credit Card Charge amount (for example: you don’t want to take any credit card orders less than $100.00)
5. Min. Payment = to set a minimum payment amount
6. Without Approval = to set a max limit of credit card charges without calling the credit card company for approval
7. Payments:
   1. Yes = to allow installment payments
   2. No = No installment payments allowed
   3. CR = an agreement made with the credit card company that the company receives the payment in full and the credit card company charges the customers card in installments
