    Information

    Credit Cards determine the card types available for selection on Receipts.

    Card Types that are accepted payment methods can also be selected to display on the RMS IBE payment page.

    Owner Accounting properties can opt to charge the transaction fee to the Owner and select if Card Types should be displayed individually on the Bank Reconcilation.

    The Card Sale Type is required by certain Payment Gateways that use separate credentials depending on if the card used is a debit or credit card.

    Set Credit Cards to Accounts Receivable is only required if using the Credit Card Reconciliation utility to match Receipts created in RMS with the date paid by the Credit Card company to the property's bank account.

    The Pay to Account option is a legacy feature that was used to faciliate Accounts Receivable. This option should be left set to 'Bank' unless using this legacy feature.

    Transaction Fees can be setup to apply a card surcharge to the guest with the option of also passing on any charge from the Payment Gateway for facilitating the payment as a Gateway Transaction Fee.

    External Mapping can be used to enable RMS to match a card type recieved from an online channel connection using a different name than the card type setup in RMS.

    Multiple variations of the same card type per property will result in errors using a Payment Gateway.


    Users will require Security Profile access to use this feature.
