How to Accept a Card Payment


In the charges window, press the A key.

The Final Charge window will show.




Note: The UniRes system can be set to show the balance forward as the amount in the Cash field or 0.00 as the initial amount.

See File Maintenance - System Access - Charges Settings - No balance to Cash tick box.




In the first Cash field, enter in a zero and press enter.

Next, select from the drop-down type list, the payment card type. Use your keyboard up-down arrow keys.

Press enter.

In the Amount column, enter the amount or press Enter to accept the calculated amount.

Enter any Cash Out amount.

About Credit Card Details

Select the type of Other payment from the drop down list. If a Credit Card payment is made, and you have set up UniRes to allow the recording of Credit Card details, the Credit Card information (if any) recorded with the booking is brought forward into the payment transaction line. The column headings change to reflect the chosen payment type. The Credit Card number is intentionally "masked" to partially hide the details of the card from view. Credit Card details are always encrypted on file for security and are removed in part when the booking checks out or is cancelled.


About Cheque Details

If cheque details are recorded in the Extended booking details of the booking, and a cheque type payment is made, the cheque details are brought forward to the payment transaction line. The column headings change to reflect the cheque payment details.

You can always overtype the details on screen.


System Settings for Credit Card Setup

To be able to record Credit Card Details with a booking, you must enable the feture in the UniRes Menu - File Maintenance - System Settings..



If you don't want to be asked about Credit Cards when you make a new booking, remove the tick from Enter Card Details at Booking box.

Remove the ticks from the Cards that you do not accept. Don't forget to Save your changes.


Email Receipt

If this box is ticked before you process the payment, a special receipt form will be emailed using the UniRes email system. This feature is UniRes installation version dependant and you must have the internet connected. It take longer to email a receipt, so this is best done during a quiet period and is not intended for fast front counter daily use (it's more for the back office).
