These instructions will help you set up integrated credit card processing in your software for employees who are independent contractors. Your software allows you to set up multiple merchant accounts. Each independent contractor can have his or her own merchant ID number and the credit card transaction amounts from a ticket for a specific independent contractor can be deposited directly into his or her account. Most businesses use high speed Internet to process their credit card transactions, but a phone line modem will also work.
Follow the article here for help setting up credit card processing for your single business merchant account.
Once you have setup credit card processing for the business, select Edit Employees from the Employees pull-down menu.
Double-click on the employee who is an independent contractor.
Click the Independent Contractor tab.
Check the box that says This person is an independent contractor.
In the Merchant ID field, type the merchant ID number. If the independent contractor does not have a merchant ID already setup, they will need to contact DaySmart Payments at +1(800) 982-6419 and they will be able to assist you with obtaining a merchant ID.
Click the OK button.
Repeat Steps 2-6 for each employee that is an independent contractor.
You should now test your integrated credit card processing. To do so, add or edit a ticket. Add a service and mark it to a dollar. In the Employees column, select one independent contractor with merchant processing. Multiple independent contractors cannot be selected on the same ticket. This is due to how information is held in the database, reporting is done, and how the credit card transaction amounts are deposited into the independent contractor's bank account. Click the Tender = Due button and click the Process Credit Card button. Swipe the credit card and your software will process the card and approve or decline it. If the card is approved, the ticket will automatically close. For CardConnect customers, you can then go back to the ticket and press Void at which point you will be prompted to void the credit card transaction as well. If your credit card did not process, call DaySmart Payments at +1(800) 982-6419.
