These procedures describe how to configure and manage the payment types supported in each project associated with a merchant. A merchant can have multiple projects and each project can support its own set of payment types, each with its own set of parameters for refunds and alternate payment.
To configure project payment types:
Select False to disable a payment type.
A payment type that is already enabled cannot be disabled when there are any member profiles in the same project associated with that payment type. A red box is displayed around the Enabled field, as shown below, to indicate when a member profile is associated with a payment type.![]() The payment type that you want to disable must be deselected in the Payment Types field on the Update Member page of the member profile for each affected member before you can disable the payment type for the project. Member profiles are created and maintained in the EDGE Customer module. ![]() |

For example, you can specify that a Gift Card can be used to issue a refund for an order originally paid for with a check.
- Currently, only "Gift Card" can be specified as an alternate payment type. - Only one alternate may be defined for each payment type in a project. - When the payment was originally made using a gift card, there are now two options for how to issue refunds: |
