Hi there,
I have a question about receiving/recording payments made by Visa/Mastercard. Someone previous to me has set up Sage to receive payment using the credit card feature with no discount fee, as the fee is only deducted monthly and it varies significantly in the cards - ie Visa isn't just 2.95% - it depends on what type of Visa it is, etc. Our merchant provider then deposits the total amount of credit card payments the following day into our bank account. When I reconcile, this is a pain as I have to manually add up the different deposits to make sure that they are correct.
How would you handle this? Use the receive payment by cheque feature and in the cheque number spot type either Visa/Mastercard, deposit to my cash clearing account and then 'deposit' them the following day? I am leaning toward doing it this way, but if someone has a different idea please let me know! (or confirm that this is the way to go).
Thanks!
