What is a payment method
A payment method represents a way customers can pay, for example:- Credit card
- Bank transfer
- Direct debit
- Check
- Name (required): the label displayed on quotes and in the Dealroom
- Reference: an optional internal reference
- Information: optional free text, for example bank details or payment instructions
- Linked Resources: the Templates that offer this payment method
- Identifiers: CRM ID, ERP ID, and Accounting ID
- Status and API Name: whether the method is Active or Inactive, and its technical identifier
You need a role with the Workspace settings permission to create and edit payment methods. See Permissions reference.
How payment methods reach the quote
- You create payment methods in Settings › Workspace › Payment method.
- You link them to templates (from the payment method’s Linked Resources, or from the template).
- Payment methods can also be linked to a customer or a customer segment. When they’re linked at several levels, the Association Resolution Mode decides which ones the sales rep sees.
- The sales rep selects the payment methods on the quote, and the customer sees them in the Dealroom.
