Setting Payment Methods Accepted at Gala Event
Specify which payment options will appear on the check-out screen.
To set payment methods: (requires Chair role)
Go to Admin > Site Settings > Gala Auction > General Settings (note: only users with Chair role can make changes to this page).
1. Check the boxes of payment methods to be accepted. Check the external box (and uncheck the credit card box) when credit cards will be accepted but will be processed externally rather than through the software (ie imprint machine, terminal with paper or thermal receipt, smartphone with swiper etc.)
2. Choose which payment method will be the first one visible in the dropdown menu on the check-out screen.
3. Check this box if you want to allow guests to pay cash for incidental purchases during your event (such as drinks or raffle tickets). Cash purchases are recorded by bidder number with paid/cash noted. When the sale is entered, it will be recorded in guest's shopping cart as purchased and paid for so if they have additional purchases through the evening, they will receive one receipt showing all items and payments at check-out (unless next box is also checked, see below).
4. Check this box if you want cash sales to be processed immediately as an individual order. Doing so will close the order after each cash sale - at check-out, guest will have individual receipts for each cash transaction, plus a shopping cart/order/receipt for all non-cash purchases.
5. Save your changes.
