To set up credit card processing, use the Credit Card Type component (AV_CR_CARD_TYPE), Merchant Table component (AV_MERCHANT_TBL), and Business Unit CR component (AV_BUS_UNIT).
Before you can enter gift or membership payments, or enable self-service online giving, you must set up the system for credit card processing.

To accept credit card payments over the internet, you must have an account with a merchant bank that offers internet credit card processing. In addition, you must establish a relationship with a credit card processing agency, such as CyberSource, and provide the identifying numbers for your bank account. After you have established these two relationships, you must configure the system to connect with the credit card processing agency.
CyberSource supports all major credit cards including: Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover/Novus, Diners Club, Carte Blanche, EuroCard, JCB, Visa delta, EDC/Maestro, Style, and various private label cards.
For more information, refer to the “PeopleSoft Credit Card Interlink Installation and Technical Notes” on the My Oracle Support website.
To specify credit card payments, you must use the Tender Types page to define a credit card tender type. The Tender Types page enables you to set up the monetary forms in which your organization receives gifts.
