Test Merchant Payment Acceptance

Prev Next

Merchants can accept payments directly in the Payrix Pro Portal without any backend development. Merchants can process credit and debit sale transactions, authorization-only transactions, and eCheck transactions. The following sections describe how you can test each feature in the portal as a merchant.

The portal provides two ways to accept payments:

  • Quick Charge: Use the Quick Charge form to process transactions directly on the merchant portal dashboard.

  • Create Payment: Use the Create Payment page to add tips or to submit the transaction for Level 2 or Level 3 processing.

Process a Quick Charge Payment

Merchants can process transactions directly in the Quick Charge form on their portal dashboard.

To accept a payment:

  1. Log in as a merchant.

  2. Select Dashboard in the main side bar.

  3. Fill in the form. The following fields are required:

    • Amount: The amount of the sale. The currency is in USD for US-based merchants and CAD for Canadian-based merchants.
