Applies to:                Pro Gold i2 2.xx, 3.xx

 

Purpose:  A Credit Card can be used to apply a payment to an agent/customer’s account. Pro Gold i2 is currently setup to use Authorize.net to accept credit card transactions.  You must have a merchant account with Authorize.net to process credit card payments through this method.  Only one bank account is supported in Pro Gold i2 for the credit card deposit entries.  Ideally, you would not want to use your real operating account for the authorize.net billing.  If you did and someone disputes a credit card billing, authorize.net can electronically adjust your account immediately which could have balance consequences inside an operating account.  Highly recommend establishing a holding bank account that you disburse all your credit card billings through.  It isolates the credit card transactions to a particular account with the flexibility to transfer money to/from the other bank accounts as needed.  This way you only need one merchant account with authorize.net. 

 

Procedure:  The steps to setup credit card information and apply the credit card payment to an A/R invoice are listed below

-          In the Setup Tab, select Change Company Info icon
