Payment Types Example

Summary

Payment types are the methods that an account can use to make payments. This guide will provide an example on how to add a 'Check' offline payment type in the LogiSense Billing application.

Offline payment types are used to record payments in the application, they do not trigger payment processing through a gateway when they are used to make a payment.

Payment types that go through a payment gateway are added automatically when the payment gateway is configured, you do not need to configure these online payment types. See the Payment Gateway Example for instructions on how to configure a gateway.
