Setting Up Tender Types

Tender types are used to indicate the method in which the tender was made. A unique Tender Type must exist for every type of tender that can be remitted. For example, if you allow cash, checks, direct debits from a checking account, and direct debits from a credit card to be tendered, you'd need the following tender types:

Description of Page

Enter a unique Tender Type and Description for the tender type.

Turn on the Like Cash switch if this tender type is cash or the equivalent of cash. This indicator controls if the system generates a warning if a cash-only account remits a tender other than cash. It is also used to generate a warning for online cashiers to turn in their tenders when the cash-like amount exceeds the maximum amount balance defined for the tender source.

Turn on Generate Auto Pay if this type of tender causes an automatic payment request to be routed to a financial institution. For example, this switch will be on if this tender type is used for direct debits from a taxpayer's checking account (because every tender of this type will have an automatic payment request created when the tender is created).

The following fields are only used for tender types associated with automatic payments:

Turn on Allow Cash Back if the system should automatically calculate a cash back amount when a tender is remitted for this tender type and the amount tender exceeds the amount being paid.
