Payment Type Columns

These columns enable you to connect payment types to specific account information for tracking.

Enter the name of the payment (for example, "Visa" or "MasterCard").

Fee Percent

If you enter a value in this field, the Accounting Interface automatically calculates the fee that the credit card company charges you. A transaction is added to each accounting transfer that reduces the individual credit card asset account and charges it against the "Credit Card Processing Fees" cost account defined in standard accounts. If no fee is entered, no transaction is generated.

Auto Deposit

Check this box to transfer the credit card sales from the asset account to the bank account automatically. The bank account is the "Checking Account" standard account.

Deposit After

If you use auto-deposit, the transaction can be post-dated the number of days you enter into this field.
