Creating Credit Card Payment Buttons

Oracle recommends that you create payment card buttons on a page for the credit card functions.

  1. Select the Enterprise, property, revenue center, or zone, click Configuration, and then click Page Design.
  2. Open the page on which to place credit card buttons.
  3. On the Edit tab, select the page area in which to define the credit card functions (typically the payment area).
  4. Click Payments.
  5. On the General subtab, select Payment Tenders from the Type drop-down list.
  6. Click the black arrow beneath the Type drop-down list.
  7. From the Select Tender/Media Payment dialog, select the payment tender, and then click OK.

    Select None to use all types of credit cards.

  8. From the Payment Configuration dialog, select CreditDebit:Loadable from the Payment Type drop-down list.
  9. Select the appropriate function key from the Functions drop-down list, and then click OK:

    • CreditAuthOnly: This function sends a request to the cardholder’s bank to authorize available funds and place a hold on those funds for sale. The account is not charged. This function is used in Table Service to obtain authorization of payment.

    • CreditAuthAndPay: This function authorizes funds available and completes the sale. This function is used in Quick Service to apply payment and close a check.

    • InitialAuthorization: This function sends a request to the cardholder’s bank to authorize available funds and place a hold on those funds for sale. The account is not charged. This function is used in Table Service to obtain authorization of payment for a large party or with bar tabs where additional charges may be incurred.

    • ManualAuthorization: When connection to the credit card processor is unavailable, this function allows the workstation operator to manually enter the authorization code (obtained by phoning the credit card processor).

  10. Position and size the button on the page. Use the Style arrow to change the color.
  11. In the Legend field, enter the button name.
  12. Repeat Steps 7 through 11 for each type of payment tender.
  13. Click Save.
