An organization can store payment information for a company on a Companies record. For example, if a company requests that all orders be charged against a particular corporate credit card, a user can add this credit card information to the Companies record as a Saved Payment Method. These payment methods are then available from a Payment Selector drop-down list anytime a user needs to create a payment. When a user selects a particular method, the system automatically fills in the payment fields with the information stored in the Saved Payment Method.Anchor
See the Processing Payments "Processing Payments" chapter topic in the Aptify Order Entry Guide for information on how to apply a Saved Payment Method to a payment.
