Saved Cards
Clients can save a payment card on file for faster checkout and recurring payments. Card data is stored securely through the payment processor — your system never sees the full card number.
Saving a Card on File
- During a PaymentWhen processing a card payment, check the Save card for future payments checkbox before clicking Process Payment.
- Confirm with the ClientAlways ask the client's permission before saving their card. They should understand it will be stored securely.
- Card Is SavedAfter successful payment, the card appears in the client's "Saved Cards" section showing the last 4 digits and expiration date.
Charging a Saved Card
- Start a New PaymentOn the client's billing tab, click + New Payment.
- Select the Saved CardInstead of entering new card details, select the saved card from the dropdown (shown as "Visa ending 4242").
- Enter Amount and ProcessEnter the amount and click Process Payment. No card details need to be re-entered.
Client authorization required. Always get verbal or written consent before charging a saved card. Never charge a saved card without the client's knowledge.
Managing Saved Cards
View and manage saved cards from the client's profile:
- View — See last 4 digits, card brand (Visa, Mastercard, etc.), and expiration
- Delete — Remove a card from the client's account (click the trash icon next to the card)
- Set Default — Mark one card as the default for quick selection
Security Notes
