Once the generic payment mode is configured, you must configure a payment mode for each card brand accepted by the merchant. For example, if the merchant accepts Mastercard, Visa, American Express and Interac Debit, you must create and configure a payment mode for each card brand individually.
NOTE: Since the configuration for Interac Debit differs from that of the credit cards, Interac Debit will be explained in its own separate topic. Please see Interac Debit Payment Mode to learn more.
IMPORTANT! Before creating payment modes for the various card brands accepted by the merchant, the generic Credit/Debit payment mode must be created. Please see Generic Credit/Debit Payment Mode to learn how to configure it.
