Processing a Credit Card

A credit card can be pre-authorized by validating the credit card number and verifying that the funds are available.

Complete the following steps to pre-authorize a credit card for a rental contract:

1. Open a rental contract by selecting Rental > Rental Contract from the main EBMS menu.

2. Select File > Pre-authorize to pre-authorize a credit card without debiting the funds. The following dialog will appear:
   

3. Enter the appropriate payment information and select the Pre-authorize button. Review the Sales > Customer Payments > Payment Entry Dialog section of the sales documentation for more details on the payment entry dialog.

4. Select File > Down Payment to debit the credit card immediately. Review the Sales > Customer Payments > Down Payments section of the sales documentation for more details on processing payments.  

EBMS automatically creates an SO if the options File > Down Payment or File > Pre-authorize is selected.
