Process Credit Card Payments

When you mark an amount on an invoice as paid by credit card, the invoice is considered paid in full and will show in that contact's account balance as a completed transaction. However, until you process the actual credit card, you have not yet received the payment, so the amount is still outstanding. Boulevard tracks your credit card receivables and allows you to record them as they come in.

Important Notes:

• Your ProPay account information must be linked in Boulevard.
• Credit card information needs to be added to the contact's profile before a payment can be processed.
• For the security of both you and your customer, Boulevard does not store credit card information. If the card number or expiration date needs to be updated, the card must be deleted, then re-added. See Add or Remove Credit Card Information.
• For security purposes, credit card information is accessed differently through Boulevard than from ProPay's website. Even if credit card information has been previously saved into ProPay through their website, it must be entered in Boulevard to utilize the credit card processing feature.

Submit Payment to ProPay

1. From the Business Tools menu, select Credit Receivables, (or from the Reports - Tools group on the main toolbar click  Credit Receivables).
2. Select the checkbox next to each transaction to be submitted.
3. From the toolbar, click .

Approved Payments

If the payment is approved, the transaction will disappear from Credit Receivables, and the fees associated with the transaction will automatically be posted to Expenses according to the fees set in Preferences.

Declined Payments

If the payment is declined, the transaction will appear in red along with the reason in the ProPay Response field. After correcting the issue, the payment can then be resubmitted. If you have verified with the customer that the card information is correct, sign in to your ProPay account to ensure that your subscription has not lapsed. You can also check to ensure ProPay's status is operational.
