Payment Methods: What's on the page?

Learn how to manage payment methods.

Summary:

The Payment Methods page categorizes payment options into three sections: Consumer Site Reservations, Admin Site Reservations, and Point of Sale. Each section encompasses various payment methods tailored to specific reservation origins, ensuring flexibility and convenience in transaction processing.

Customizing and Understanding Payment Methods

The Payment Methods setup page serves as a central hub for managing payment options within the system. Here, users can view and customize various payment methods and their associated financial accounts as well as define if a Charge to Site transaction should require a credit card on file.

Active payment methods are easily identifiable by the checkbox next to each option, indicating their availability for use during checkout. These active methods streamline the transaction process, providing users with seamless payment experiences.

Conversely, inactive payment methods do not appear in the payment method list on the checkout screen. This feature helps declutter the interface, ensuring that only relevant payment options are presented to users during the checkout process.

POS Charge to Site: Requiring a Card of File

Campspot's Charge to Site feature enables users to charge Point of Sale (POS) transactions directly to a reservation. Enabling this feature requires having a credit card on file. Without a card on file, the option to use the charge to site payment method in the point of sale interface will not be accessible. This setup ensures seamless and secure transaction processing, enhancing the efficiency of your operations.

Payment Methods Definitions

The payment methods list is divided into three sections:

Consumer Site Reservations
Admin Site Reservations
Point of Sale

Transfer Internal Payment	Used for managing funds within the system, typically between invoices or credits: Move funds between invoices within the Admin Site. Apply User Credit or Camp Credit Account Balances as payments. Refund funds directly to or from an invoice. When NOT to use: Avoid using this payment method during reservation confirmation or checkout processes in the Admin Site.
Transfer External Payment	This payment method is used specifically during the onboarding process to accurately reflect payments taken in a park's previous system. When to Use: Record funds that were processed in the park's old system and transferred into Campspot to show an accurate balance on imported reservations. If a park realizes after going live that not all payments were brought over, this method can be used to correct the records. When NOT to Use: Avoid using this payment method after the onboarding process is complete, as it impacts financial and payment reports. It should not be used for processing new payments or managing transactions within Campspot. Note: This method ensures imported reservations reflect accurate balances by recording payments previously processed outside Campspot.
