Pay with a Credit Card

Overview

You can add full or partial credit card payments to an order from its Payments area. Transaction details and gateway responses are also recorded there.

Transaction History

When you process a credit card payment in Boomer, the transaction is sent to your payment gateway for approval. The gateway returns a message indicating whether the payment succeeded or failed, along with a response code. You can find these details under Details in the order’s Payments area.

Add a Credit Card Payment

  1. Click Add Payment next to the balance due. Select a credit card from the Payment Method list. Available methods include payment cards saved on file for the contact.
  2. The payment amount defaults to the order amount. Leave it as is to pay the full amount, or change it to make a partial payment.
  3. Enter the cardholder’s name, card number, and expiration date. The verification code is optional in Admin, but required for payments made on the Storefront.
  4. Enter the billing address. Click Use my main address to use the contact’s address.
  5. To save the card to the contact’s profile, select Save this credit card as a payment on file.
  6. Click Apply Payment.

Note: The payment has not been processed yet, so you can delete it if needed. When you click Next, Boomer sends the payment to the gateway. If the balance reaches zero and all payments succeed, the order status changes to Confirmed.
