Is it possible to have, or is it already in OG to automatically identify Credit Cards based on the card number? ie 4 for Visa, 5 for MC, 6 for Disc or 3 for Amex? Jon.
In Billing Info, where does it show this? Under billing info, it always lists as Credit Card.....or are you saying that if credit card is selected, the reports or payments only show whether it's an amex,visa...etc...? Reason why this came up is because minor typos, or inquisitive tech reps enter payments in manually or setup accounts manually....and that field is editable (Use in billing info), which can prevent people from being billed if not one of the set types of accounts.....
If an automatic payment is processed (with a credit card gateway/processor for example), when it automatically posts the payment it will enter it as the actual card type. For a manually entered transaction, the user would need to select the payment type from the drop-down list, which is defined under Maintenance & Preferences -> General Preferences -> Billing -> Payment Types.
