What do Payment Method Groups actually do?
I see where they are set up in TR_PMT_METHOD_GROUP and I see where they are associated to specific payment methods, but what are they functionally doing? Where else do they show up and why?
For us when I was at the dance company, we had multiple bank accounts. Having a different (MOTO) Merchant ID let us tell Windcave which account to send it too.
Merchant ID is at the Payment Group level so you set up tokenization Control Grouping at that level as well.
In a similar way you can group Credit Card payment methods for different billing types. In Invoice Billing Utility you select the Payment Method Group as (using my earlier example) we could do an education Credit Card invoice billing run and push those finds to MOTO Merchant ID 003 which might be the Education bank account
