In this article, we will go over a few scenarios for saving client cards in POS, the appointment modal, and the client's profile when booking in-store.
Things to know:
- In MyTime, you can require a credit card on file in order to book appointments, have the credit card on file but not make it a requirement to book an appointment, or not allow credit cards to be saved on file at all. Your preference can be set on the Business Setup > Settings page, just below the Store Client Credit Card option.
- In order to accept credit card payments you must have a merchant payment account. If you don’t have one, you can speak with a member of our Processing Team at processing@mytime.com to have your merchant account set up.
See below for a comparison of the three options and scenarios to match, that illustrate what happens in POS, appointment modal, and client's profile.
