Payment Method – Choose from one of the payment methods you have entered for your business in Payment Method Maintenance or select the information from a previously entered payment record. Payment processing will only run automatically on credit card transactions if you are using Merchant Warehouse (in the U.S.) and eWAY (in Australia, New Zealand and United Kingdom) as your credit card processor. Note: Non-credit card payment methods can be selected but will not automatically be charged during the payment processing routine.

Payment methods that have previously been used by this customer will appear at the bottom of the list. If one of these methods is selected, the information captured on the previous payment will be filled in.

If a credit card payment method was selected and you are using the PCI compliance option with either Merchant Warehouse (in the U.S.) or eWAY (in Australia, New Zealand, and United Kingdom) for credit cards, the option to Get Card Information will appear at the bottom of the window. Click Get Card Information to open a secure credit card gateway to either Merchant Warehouse or eWAY and enter the card information.

In versions of Spectra prior to StudioPlus 2008, the PaymentMethod combo box on the payment record displayed a list of all the prior credit cards used by this client. Starting in Spectra 2008, only those payment methods that have been set up on this screen will be added to the PaymentMethod combo box for rapid data entry. This way you have more control and old cards will not be displayed.
