Note

You must set up a default card to charge invoices to a credit card, however, this is optional to process single orders.

  2. In the Accounting tab click Add New Card.

  3. Enter the customer’s card details and click Authorize when completed.

  5. Optional. Check Bill Invoices With Default Credit Card if the customer would like to pay all their invoices with this card as well.

Capturing Credit Cards on Invoices

Tip

Best Practice

Create separate billing cycles for customers who pay invoices with credit cards. For example, if billing weekly, create a separate CC Weekly billing cycle, and assign customers who are on weekly billing and pay with credit cards, to this billing cycle.  Do the same for semi-monthly, and monthly as well.

Info

A credit card must be associated with the customer account. See Set Up a Default Credit Card on a Customer’s Record above.

Authorize the Credit Cards

Credit card authorization is an approval from a card issuer, usually through a credit card processor, that the customer has sufficient funds to cover the cost of the transaction, and also confirms whether the card is valid.

...

Once you have authorized the credit cards go to Process Credit Cards belowto charge the credit card.

Capturing Credit Cards on Single Orders

Customers can pay individual orders with credit cards.

Info

Customers must have “Accept credit cards” or “Only accept credit cards” selected on the Orders tab of their customer record.

Example

You have a one-time-only type client account number for deliveries where the order is placed by a non-customer, or customers themselves who pay with credit cards.  The process to capture the card is the same.

Invoice an Order Paid With a Credit Card

Orders paid with a credit card will not be included when creating invoices since they have already been paid. Therefore, individual orders paid with credit cards will not import into Quickbooks. This is why printing the credit card transaction summary is important: it captures revenue for entry into Quickbooks.

If a customer has a customer ID and is set up in Quickbooks, you’ll need to manually enter the order and pay it with the credit card batch funds when they process into the bank account. If it is a one-time customer, you can set up a customer in Quickbooks to use for these types of orders, such as “Online Customer” for example.  

Process Credit Cards

See Process Credit Cards for more information.

  1. Go to the Action menu, and select Process Credit Cards.  

  2. Select the order(s) and/or invoice(s) you want to process. All orders that authorized a credit card will appear here. Some orders may not have been delivered yet. You can click on an order to view the status of the order prior to settling the charges. Clicking on the Order/Invoice ID button will open the record. If an order rate is edited, it is recommended to close this screen and reopen to refresh the charges. 

  3. Click Process Selected. Cards will now be approved or declined in the Status field.

Print Credit Card Transaction Summary Report

You can print a report to show all processed cards/invoices to reconcile credit card batches in your company bank account. From the Processing Credit Cards form, select Print Report.

Note

If the transaction summary is not printed immediately after processing cards, it cannot be printed at a later date or retrieved by CXT Software Support.

...

Export Invoices for Quickbooks

See Importing Invoicing Information into Quickbooks for more information.

...

Note

Imported invoices will not show as “paid” since captured credit card information does not transfer over into Quickbooks. It is recommended that you print the credit card report so when the settled credit card batch is deposited to your company bank account, you’ll be able to use the report to post credit card payments in Quickbooks to pay the invoices.
