Use Case: Process a Token Payment with Create Payments

You can process payments from customers using a previously saved tokenized payment method (token) using the Create Payment page and even enter Level 2 and Level 3 information for better credit card interchange rates for transaction processing. This tutorial will walk you through the steps of processing a payment using a saved token on the Create Payments page.

View of the Create Payment page.

Objective

Use the Create Payment form to process a payment using a saved customer payment token, with an option for the addition of Level 2 and Level 3 information.

Audience

  • Merchants

Environment

  • Portal (Sandbox)

  • Portal (Production)

Prerequisites

Prerequisites:

  • You must have a fully boarded Merchant account to perform any of the actions described in this use case guide.

  • You must have an existing customer payment token saved in the Portal in order to process the payment. To save a new token, visit the Create a Customer Payment Token use case.

Tips

Tips will provide suggestions to streamline or better prepare you to apply this use case tutorial.

Tip: The Quick Charge tile and the Create Payment form both allow you to accept a payment quickly and easily. Quick Charge enables you to quickly capture customer and payment information right from the dashboard. The Quick Charge tile only supports Level 1 data. The Create Payment form provides a way to accept a payment and includes the option to enter Level 2 and 3 information.

Tip: The Payrix platform will create a customer record every time a token is generated. As a result, you do not need to create a new customer if you create a new token.

Additional Resources

  • See the Payment Acceptance page for more information about accepting payments through the Platform.
