Set Up Payments on File
Save credit card and bank account information for billing parties directly in their responsible party folders. Having these Payments on File records provides you with a way to post payments to an authorized account without swiping a credit card or re-typing account numbers each time you post a payment. In addition, a credit card or electronic transfer payment on file is required for auto event plans.
Set Up Integrated Payment Accounts - You must set up credit card and / or electronic transfer payment accounts that integrate with your payment processing system before you can create payments on file for your responsible parties.
