Accepting Debit Cards as a Form of Payment

This lesson will go over how to set up a debit card in CurrencyXchanger and how to accept a debt card transaction.

Set up a Debt Card Subledger Account

  • Open the 'Subledger' module by double clicking on 'Subledger' in the modules panel.
  • Click on 'All' in the Sub-ledger toolbar.
  • If you don't have a Debit Card Account or a Sub-ledger Account yet, you need to create this.
  • To do this, click 'New' up in the toolbar.
Set up a Debt Card Subledger Account

A Sub-ledger entry form will appear.

  • Enter Debit Card under 'Account Name' then hit the <TAB> button or click on the 'General Ledger Account' field.
  • You will be directed to another window.
  • Pick a main account type. You can either type 'Cash' under 'Please pick a Main'
    or select it from the list below 'Ledger Account Name' and double click on it or hit 'Pick'.
  • You'll see that the 'Cash' cheque box has been ticked.
  • Check off the 'Settlement Account' box since your Debit Account will need to be settled either at the end of the day or the end of the week.

    Note ** A Settlement is the act of paying off a balance due. 'Settlement Accounts' are usually brought to a zero balance on a daily basis.
  • Also be sure to check off  'Display this account in the pulldown menu in invoice'.
  • Then click 'Save'.
  • You'll see that now the 'Debit Card' has been added as a Sub-ledger Account.

    in order to do reconciliations at the end of the day and to match up the transaction.
    **Make sure the transaction went through without any problems, and then enter the debit machine reference number for future reconciliation.
