The Payments window allows you to receive payment for an order. To access this window, click Payment or Complete in the Order Entry or Point of Sale window.

If you have configured user questions to ask in this payment window, these will be displayed in the Marketing section. From the Referral Code list, select the marketing method that generated this order (if any).

In the Payments area, provide information about this payment. Customers can use multiple payment types (for example, a gift certificate for part of the order and cash for the rest); enter each payment type on its own line. The columns here are:

Column Description
Type Select the payment type for this order.
Account Number If you selected Credit Card as the payment type, in this field, enter the account or card number (you can also swipe the card).
Exp Date Enter the expiration date for the credit card.
Name Enter the name of the cardholder.
Approval Once the credit card is sent for processing, the approval code appears in this field.
Amount This column only appears in Order Entry. Enter the amount of the payment. Tendered This column only appears for Point of Sale systems. Enter the amount of money tendered for this sale.
Exchng This column is included for Canadian Point of Sale systems. Select whether the funds you are tendering are in Canadian or U.S. funds. If they are in U.S. funds, FTD Mercury will automatically convert them to Canadian funds using the local exchange rate defined in the Store Settings screen in Mercury Administration.


If a credit card is used for payment, from the Cardholder Present list, select whether the cardholder was present for the transaction, and if not, the circumstances if they were not present.

For Point of Sale transactions, the order total and change due appear in large type at the bottom of the screen.

When you click Complete, the events that happen depend on your FTD Mercury configuration, the payment type, whether the order was a wire out order, and whether you are using Order Entry or Point of Sale.

NOTE: If you save or complete a payment made with a credit card, if you view the payment information again, only the last four digits of the credit card are displayed for security purposes.
