Hi Tessy Friends,
Our box office has asked me to look into a possibly way to help them distinguish intended purposes with multiple credit cards in a patron's account.
For example: John Smith wants to charge ticket upgrades to his Visa ending in ****, Donations to MasterCard ending in ****, automatic subscription renewal to American Express ending in ****, etc...
The only way I can think of doing this would be to create additional payment methods and attempt to call them their card name and their purpose or to use the TR_PMT_METHOD_GROUP to help sort methods. Does anyone else do something similar to what we are trying to do? How do you make it work so the box office can easily tell what payment method is used for what purpose?
Thanks!
Tiffany
Hi Tiffany -
We've done something similar (and clunky) for credit cards people wanted to use in an express checkout manner. Basically we created an attribute on the account with a drop down of the last four digits of cards on the account. Then we were able to use that attribute as reference for running a card or for some custom reporting.
It's probably not exactly what you want, but could be at least a first step or an avenue to explore.
Good luck!
Heather
