Using the MYOB Merchant Account Service

One part of MYOB Business Services is the MYOB Merchant Account Service. Using this service, you can accept and process the credit card payments you receive from your customers directly from MYOB BusinessBasics. You can use American Express, Discover, MasterCard and Visa credit cards.

Note: True debit card payments can't be processed by the MYOB Merchant Account Service

Applying to the MYOB Merchant Account Service

To get started processing credit card payments, you must first apply to MYOB Business Services. Once approved, you'll be sent Unique Merchant Information by email or fax. You will receive a Merchant ID, User Name and Password that you'll enter in the MYOB Business Services Setup window. (To apply for the MYOB Merchant Account Service)

Setting up the MYOB Merchant Account Service

You'll enter setup information in the MYOB Business Services Setup window.

You can start authorization when you record

You have an additional selection that will tailor the way you process your credit card transactions. Mark the Send Credit Card Payments for Authorization Using the Record Button if you want the Record button in the transaction windows [Enter Sales (New Invoice), Receive Payments, Receive Money and Settle Returns & Credits windows] to start the authorization process immediately as you record the transaction.

In order to record and start the authorization process using only the Record button, the payment method must be one that is accepted by the MYOB Merchant Account.

Do not use this preference if you swipe your credit card information. If you use the Record button to authorize the payment, the Applied Payment Details window must be closed, and any swiped information is then considered "key entered."

Notes:
If you swipe, authorize the payment before you leave the window: Click the Authorize button before the OK button! (MYOB Merchant Account Service)
