Assigning Credit Card Information to Ship Vias

Use the Ship Via Credit Card Information screen to assign a default upcharge to a ship via. An upcharge is a percentage of the total order used to estimate freight and handling charges. During pre-authorization, the system adds this amount to the total order amount. This ensures that there are enough pre-authorized funds to pay for the goods and potential shipping and handling fees.

To assign credit card information to a ship via:

  1. From the Files menu, select Ship Via to display the Ship Via Maintenance screen.

  2. In the ShipVia field, enter the ship via to which you want to assign the information.

  3. Use the Cred Card hot key to display the Ship Via Credit Card Information screen.

  4. In the Percent Upcharge field, enter the percentage of the total order amount to be added to the pre-authorization to cover any shipping or handling fees.

  5. In the Minimum Upcharge field, enter the minimum upcharge to be added to the total if the upcharge determined by the percent in the Percent Upcharge field is less than this amount.

  6. Press Esc to save this information and return to the Ship Via Maintenance screen.

Once credit card information is defined, the Credit Card hot key on the Ship Via Maintenance screen is highlighted.
