Use the Payment Accounts editor to define the types of payments you accept from responsible parties. If you integrate Edge with an electronic payment processing system (such as X-Web, Vanco, or Element), you must create at least one payment account to use with that integration.
Home Ribbon Bar - Editors > Financial > Payment Accounts. (You can also search for the editor you want to work with.)
Click Editors from the Tools section of the Home ribbon bar.
Select Financial in the list at the left and elect the Payment Accounts option.
Choose Record to Work With - Your list of existing records appears at the left. Click the record to work with. The details for that record appear at the right. Note that payment accounts that have been flagged as inactive are noted in parenthesis.
Re-Order Accounts - Use the arrows at the top of the payment accounts list to reorder accounts within each section. You might use this, for example, to move all inactive accounts to the bottom of the list. Note that the accounts appear in this order when you manually post transactions.
Create a New Payment Account - Type a name in the Account name field, and select the receipt type (cash, check, etc.). If you select Credit Card or Electronic Transfer, you also specify the provider to use when you post these transactions. Then click Add. You can now select the account details, described below.
Account Details - Identify how you will use this payment account within your Edge system.
Account name - Enter a name that describes how to use this payment account. If you separate transactions by orthodontist and/or office, be sure to identify the doctor / location for this account. Also, if you have separate merchant ID's for retail, moto, and/or ecommerce transactions, be sure the account name specifies which type of transaction you should post with this account.
Default description - Enter the default description to use when posting transactions with this payment account.
Inactive / Active toggle - Once created, you cannot delete a payment account. You can, however, flag payment accounts that you do not use as Inactive.
Office / Orthodontist designation - If you separate transactions by office and/or orthodontist, specify the doctor / location for this account. Otherwise, enter Any in these fields. Note that if you have separate merchant ID's for offices and/or doctors, you will need to create a separate payment account for each.
Provider Details - (Credit card and electronic transfer accounts only.) When you create a credit card or electronic transfer account, and select to use an integrated payment processing provider, complete the Provider Details section of the window. The information required depends upon the payment type and processing system you are working with. Note that if you have obtained separate client ID numbers for each orthodontist or office, you must create a payment account for each, with the appropriate ID numbers in the provider details fields. Refer to the appropriate details for your integration provider:
