Store a Payment Method

When you save a payment method, you will be presented with the same form as if you were running a transaction.

Saving a payment method (by itself without running a transaction) will not show up in your transaction search. However, you can look them up in your Customer Information Manager.

You can click on a Profile ID to see the details of the payment method.

Store a Payment Method and Run a Transaction

You can also store a payment method and run a transaction at the same time. These will show up in the transaction search and the customer information manager. This works for both e-commerce (card-present) and in-person (card-not-present) transactions. 

Store an ACH (Bank Account)

You can store ACH as a payment method just like credit cards and debit cards. When the user is presented with the form, they can select Bank Account.

You can confirm a bank account is on file by going to Customer Profile and then Payment Profiles in Authorize.net.
