Frequently Asked Questions
How do I sign up for the credit card service? [ Top ]
Do I need to purchase any additional hardware? [ Top ]
If you have elected to use our card swipe option you will need a card swipe device (card reader) to process transactions.To find out what card reader model is compatible, please call Peachtree Payment Solutions at 866-218-4640
If you have elected not to use a card swipe device, you will only need Internet access while in Peachtree and you will be able to authorize your customers' credit card payments in seconds via the Internet.
Once I apply for an online Merchant Account, how long will it take for me to get set up? [ Top ]
You should receive a reply on your application within 24-48 hours. You will then receive your ID and password about 3-5 working days after that.
Do I have to change bank accounts in order to use this service? [ Top ]
No. You can continue to use your existing bank account.
How are credit card payments deposited? [ Top ]
Funds collected from credit card payments are automatically deposited into your business bank account. There is no need for you to switch your existing bank account.
Can you tell me how to accept credit card payments from within Peachtree? [ Top ]
Credit card payments can be recorded in either the "Receipts" screen or from the "Receive Payments" screen, which is accessed when recording payments made at time of sale on the invoice. You will simply click the "Process Credit Card" button on either of these screens and be taken to the "Credit Card Information" screen.
- Using a card reader:
You will be asked to swipe the credit card at this time. For either type of transaction (card reader or credit card not present), if the card is approved an Authorization Code will be returned and recorded.
- Not using a card reader:
On the 'Credit Card Information" screen you will enter your customer's name, address, transaction amount and credit card information and then press the "Authorize" button.
What if I already have a card-present Merchant Account? [ Top ]
You will need to establish a new Merchant Account which will allow your transactions to be integrated with your Peachtree software. If you have any other type of merchant account, you'll need to apply for the Peachtree Payment Solutions account to enter and process credit card payments that you accept from your customers in your Peachtree software.
