Merchant Console Sale Form
The Sale Form is very similar to the vTerminal's Sale form except that it can store more information about the order (e.g. Billing and Shipping Information). Most merchants use the Sale Form if they want to keep this detailed information stored in the Merchant Console for future reports and searches.
The Sale Form has input fields for the following transaction details:
Charge Info
The Charge Info includes details of the actual charge to be processed such as the customer's name, the amount of the transaction, an invoice number and a brief description of the sale (optional). There are also fields for the tax amount and purchase order number (PO) which are required to process corporate credit cards and are recommended for personal cards as well.
You must then select either credit card or check as the payment method by clicking the radio button in the top left of the box.
Field | Description | Number of Characters |
---|---|---|
Customer | customer's name as it appears on the card | 50 |
Charge Amount | total amount of sale transaction | 15 |
