This page is also used in the Service Order and Agreement components for credit card authorization purposes.
Note: For security purposes, the credit card number and the verification number are encrypted and stored in the database. After save, only the last 4 digits of the credit card number is shown. As for the verification number, it is masked with XXX, and will be removed permanently from the database after the credit card authorization process completes.
Credit Card Information
This group box displays fields that are generally required by third-party credit card software vendors. All fields are required.

---|---|
Credit Card on File and Credit Card |
Select this option if the customer or consumer has a credit card on file. Then select the card that you want to use from the Credit Card drop-down list box. |
Phone |
Enter the customer's phone number. |
Email Address |
Enter the customer's email address. |
New Credit Card |
Select this option if the customer is using a new credit card. |
Save on File |
Select the check box if you want to save the person's credit card information. |
First Name, Last Name and Name on Card |
Enter this information for the credit card holder. The default name is the name of the consumer or contact who is associated with the case. Change the value if this is not the name on the credit card. Credit card information stored in a person's record (for example, information entered in the Consumer or Contact component) does not appear by default on this page. If, after submitting a credit card charge, you return to this page to authorize additional charges, the information that you previously entered is saved, but the credit card number is masked so that you see only the last four digits. The information is preserved for the current case only. If the same person pays for another case, you must reenter all of the information. |
Card Type |
Select a credit card type. Values are based on the credit cards that are designated Active on the Credit Card Setup page and may include AMEX, Diners Club/Carte Blanche, Discover, MasterCard, and Visa. |
Card Number |
Enter the number of the credit card that is to be charged for the transaction. |
Expires |
Select the credit card expiration date (2-digit month and 4-digit year). Note: The Expires field (CR_CARD_EXPYR) contains translate values for valid expiration years. You must periodically review and update this field with valid expiration year values. PeopleSoft CRM delivers values that range from 2001 to 2014. |
Verification Number |
Enter the verification code of the credit card. This field becomes required if the Credit Card Verification Number Required option is selected on the General Options page. After the credit card transaction is submitted and the authorization process is completed (passed or failed), the verification number will be deleted permanently from the system in compliance with the Payment Card Industry (PCI) Security Standards Council recommendations on sensitive data storage. |
Email Address and Phone |
Displays the customer's primary email address and telephone number by default. |
Address |
Displays the primary address that the system has on file for the person for whom you are executing a credit card transaction. Other addresses that are associated with that person are also available for selection. Confirm that the address is the billing address for the credit card, because address verification is part of the authorization process. The address format is based on the country that you enter. Click the Enter New Address link if you want to add a new address to be used in the transaction. Click the Edit link if you want to update the currently selected address. |
Transaction Details
The options that are available depend on how your organization has configured credit card processing.

Definition |
---|---|
Amount |
Enter the amount that is to be authorized. |
Currency Code |
Select the currency in which the credit card transaction should be calculated. |
Transaction Type |
Select one of these values: Authorize Only: Select to submit the transaction for authorization only. The vendor verifies that the card is valid for the charge and does not bill the credit card. Authorize and Bill: Select to submit the transaction for authorization and billing. The vendor performs both authorization, and if the charge is authorized, the vendor charges the customer's credit card. Bill Only: Select if you have preauthorized the transaction and you want to submit the transaction for billing only. The vendor bills the card without verifying that the card is valid for the charge. Credit Only: Select to submit a credit transaction. The vendor credits the customer's credit card. |
Submit Transaction |
Click to validate all of the data on the page. If the system finds missing or invalid data, the system displays an error message explaining the problem. You must correct all of the errors before the approval process can be initiated. If all validation criteria are met, clicking this button calls the business interlink. The vendor then performs the authorization, billing, and credit processing that you requested. Warning! When you submit an authorize and bill, bill only, or credit only transaction, the system saves the transaction information after the vendor returns the information. When you submit an authorize only transaction, you must save your work manually by saving the Case page. If you fail to save, the case results in an incomplete credit card transaction and you will have no record of the completed transaction in your system. |

Click to return to the Credit Card Information page. If you return to the case without submitting the transaction, the information still appears on the Credit Card Information page and is saved to the credit card history when you save the case, even though the transaction results fields are blank. To prevent this from happening, you can either clear all data from the Authorize Credit Card page before returning to the case or close the case without saving. |
