This guide will walk you through the steps to charge customer cards using any connected payment provider.By doing this, you can show saved cards from all payment providers directly on the Contact page. This allows you to charge old customers without hassle while maintaining the default provider for new one-time purchases or subscriptions.Whether you have multiple payment providers or are migrating to a new one, this feature ensures that you can manage transactions seamlessly.

  2. Look for the money icon in the right-hand corner.

Step 2: Initiate the Charge

  1. Click on the money icon.

  2. A pop-up screen will appear, presenting options to either select an existing card or add a new one.

Step 3: Select or Add a Card

  1. Select Existing Card: Choose from the list of saved cards to process the payment.

  2. Add New Card: Enter the new card details and save it for future transactions.

Step 4: Complete the Transaction

  1. Once the card is selected or added, confirm the amount to be charged.

  2. Click on the 'Charge Now' button to process the payment.

Pro Tips

He built a cutting-edge real estate CRM because manually chasing leads is so last century. Specializing in creative finance, deal structuring, and making things unnecessarily efficient, he helps investors close more deals while doing less actual work. When he's not automating the real estate world, he’s probably pretending to work while staring at spreadsheets or convincing himself that buying another domain name is a good idea.
