Introduction

The Payment method management allows you to create all the payment methods necessary in the database.

To do so, from the software home page, click on the "Transactions" menu, and then on " Payment methods".

After clicking on " Payment methods", this window opens.
A: This is the list of all the existing payment methods in ProDon.	B: The button allows you to create a new payment method. To learn how to fill in the addition or editing of a payment method window, click here.

To learn how to fill in the addition or editing of a payment method window, click here.	D: The button allows you to delete a payment method from the list at A. To do so, select the line of the payment method to be deleted, then click on the button. NOTE: It is preferable to deactivate a payment method rather than deleting it. To learn how to deactivate a payment method, see point J of the "Add / Edit a Payment Method" section.

NOTE: These boxes are visible only if the "Beneficiaries Module" is active in ProDon.
E: Check this box if the payment method has been created for in-kind donations.	F: Check this box if the payment method is a bank instrument (e.g. cheque). If this box is checked, all elements paid with this payment method will appear on the "Deposit Slip" report. NOTE: It is not possible to check this box and the one at I at the same time.
G: Check the box on the left to activate a "Reference" field under the payment method when entering a transaction. This field is often used to specify, for instance, a cheque number for the "Cheque" payment method.The box on the right allows you to make the field mandatory when entering a transaction.

K: Check this box if the payment method can be used to pay several transactions. For instance, if the employees of a company deduct an amount from their paycheque each week (deduction at source) in order to give to an organization and that the company for which these employees work gives the organization only one cheque totaling the amount of the deductions at the source, this box should be checked for the "Cheque" payment method.	L: Check this box if the transactions made with this payment method cannot be transferred at the same time as all the other transactions.
M: Allows you to indicate if the payment method is "Pending", "Electronic payment" or "Received or issued". NOTE: The option "Electronic payment" is only available if the "Electronic Transactions" module is active in ProDon.	N: This section allows you to configure instant electronic payment methods and payments by batch. The options displayed here are different according to the transaction type selected at M. If transaction types "Received or issued" or "Pending" have been selected, do not enter anything in these fields. To learn how to configure these options when the "Electronic payment" was selected at M, contact technical support. NOTE: This section is not visible if the "Electronic payments" is not active in ProDon.
O: After specifying the necessary information, click on the " Confirm edit", to save the modifications.
