Enter the details of your Payment Type on the next screen.

The Code field is a shortcode that will appear on your end-of-day Cash Up screen and also on some reporting. Set this to letters that can be used to abbreviate your new payment type. 

The Banked option should be set to Yes if the payment ends up in your bank account. Payments that are not banked will be calculated as Non-Revenue Sales.

Click Save to finish creating your new Payment Type.

Your new Payment Type will now be visible on the Purchase screen when paying through clients.

Note: If the payment type isn't immediately available on the Purchase screen, restart Phorest.
