Payment Methods

Define payment methods used by transactions for ease in translating them across systems

NOTE: Both Payment and Shipping methods are prerequisites for Transactions. Define these before working with Transactions.

How iPaaS.com Thinks About Payment Methods

A Payment Method is a reference record defining a kind of payment - a name, description, and payment type. Other systems call it a Tender Type or Payment Type.

Transaction payments reference these methods rather than each order re-defining what a payment is. That gives iPaaS.com a consistent vocabulary of tender types across systems, so "Visa" in one system and "Credit Card" in another can resolve to a single method. Payment methods are reference data - synced once and updated only when the set changes.
