Is there an interface within Adagio (AI or AR) or any 3rd party developer for online services such as "Authorize.Net" for processing CC payments? Preferably this kind of a facility has the capability for a batch or file submission as well as interactive.

This process is currently available within QuickBooks so this technology is not a new concept.

CounterSales for Adagio (point of sale) is setup to integrated credit card payments. Virtual Vendor (online B2B web store) also has this functionality.

Hi Kay,

There are also 3.5 Million QuickBooks users, so banks and credit card companies are anxious to provide integration (in fact, I believe that Intuit set themselves up as a bank to do their own credit card clearing).

As Doug mentioned, there are some external developers who have integrated this funcionality into their products. What types of payments are you trying to process?

Thanks for the response, but I could not find "CounterSales for Adagio".

I looked at Virtual Vendor and that is more than I want.

I have a file of Customer Credit cards, I want to submit those preferably in a batch enironment with current amounts, get the authorizations back and import into a QI batch matching invoices.

Sorry, I only refered to QuickBooks as a concept - I am not comparing or planning to convert to QB.

I looked at Doug's suggestion and was unsuccessful in tracking one of his suggesstions.

I provided a more detailed synopsis to his reply. Simply put, we have 30-300 credit cards on file most of which will be processed at least once per month through Quick Invoice. We would like to automatically submit the CC's with Invoice numbers (for documentation) and get back the "Approval Code" which would be posted to the invoice to show a "Paid Invoice".

Sorry, this discription nay be a little confusing but the process is very procedural.

Hi Kay,

Does your current credit card processor offer an electronic method to submit credit cards for authorization? If so, can you get the file layouts required from them? You might find that you can create the necessary upload file using GridView or another reporting tool.

We have implemented Pre-authorized Debit (PAD) processing for a few clients using Adagio Invoices who wished to directly debit their customer's bank accounts for payment (rent). I would expect that credit card processing would be similar, and we would be willing to look at this as a custom project for you.

Kay:

CounterSales for Adagio is developed by Island Micro Systems http://www.islandmicro.com

As a Point of Sales solution is processes credit card payments on an individual sales basis.

Andrew's suggestion of having Softrak modify PAD to meet your needs may be a more appropriate suggestion.

Bingo - this is exactly the issue.

Adagio already has the capability to store CC's. I am sure we could generate an upload file either with Gridview or Crystal. I currently generate an invoice information file which includes - customer numbers, invoice amounts, etc. which we used to, past tense, upload into an older system that just went away. Our current processor will accept a batch file and return a printed report or file which we can convert to Excel, etc...... This all is a piece of cake.

The only issue is, to the best of my knowledge, that there is no import in Quick invoices for the completed payment which would include some or all of the following - customer number, invoice number, amount, and authorization code.

Thanks for being patient with me. I think this is very similar to handling Debit cards.

You can import a cash batch into AR which, if it includes the invoice number will automatically match with the invoice when posted.

I have researched the application of CC's in AR Cash batches. That is not player for our invoice/payment process.

What I need is to apply the CC payment to the invoice in AI so that we can email an original invoice showing "PAID" as if it were a "Counter Sale" where CC is presented as payment. When you said you did something for Debit cards I was hopefull because I believe the process is similar.

Currently we hand enter CC payment information to the Invoice within a batch one invoice at a time. Works fine, just a little slow. I am hoping that someday there will be import that matches payment information to payment information in AI.

Is your PAD processing a standard feature of AI or an add-on? Why do you think this is not appilcable to my process?

Thanks
