1. This descriptor will appear on the receipts generated by the software as the source of the transactions.  Ideally, it should match what will appear on your guests' credit card statements (this is dictated by your merchant account).

2. This box must be checked to allow vaulting or storing cards in your gateway for later access.  If unchecked, the check-in screen will not display the form for vaulting credit cards.

3. SAVE

Be sure to test with a live online transaction (with vaulting or without vaulting)
