12.1 Credit Card paymethod question

We have done it more or less as you describe.  The payment methods are grouped and the actual payment method (and associated GL#’s) are recorded to the database after we determine the appropriate payment method from the card number.  So you don’t lose any accounting flexibility.

Thanks for the interest!

Subject: [Technology Roadmap Forum] 12.1 Credit Card paymethod question

Hello,

I was just watching the 12.1 training webinar from a couple of days ago and wanted to ask for clarification about the new paymethod. Is it possible to use this to recognize card numbers as they are typed or swiped but still have the transaction posted to a GL # based on what kind of card it is? I presume not based on the screenshots, but I guess I feel it's kind of silly that what should just be a data entry shortcut would impact accounting flexibility. Wouldn't it make more sense to group together existing CC payment method rows in a separate table by associating them with a "dummy" payment method to be the one actually selected on the order screen?

This would also remove the requirement that all cards processed by this paymethod go to the same merchant ID and have the same receipt behavior.
