In the Payments section of Settings, you can configure your charge types. You may see several different charge types, which are the payment methods available to admins when charging a customer through the system.
Each charge type represents a specific way of collecting or processing a payment. Here’s a quick guide to help you understand what each one means.
- Adyen Link
- An Adyen Link is a secure online payment link sent to you via email or SMS. You can click the link to pay using your preferred card or digital wallet.
- It’s perfect for remote payments or when you’re not physically present at the location.
- Card (External)
- This means the card payment was processed using a non-Adyen terminal—for example, a third-party card reader.
- The transaction is still recorded in the Booking & Payment system, but the payment was handled externally.
- Cash
- A straightforward option— customer paid in cash at your facility. This is manually recorded in the system to keep track of your payment.
- Cash (withdraw)
- This charge type is used when cash is withdrawn from the till, often for operational reasons like giving change or handling petty cash.
- This is manually recorded in the system to keep track of your payment.
- External POS
- This refers to payments processed through an external Point of Sale (POS) system. It means the transaction was handled outside the main booking system but is still logged for record-keeping.
- YGB Balance
- If the customer has a YGB (Your Golf Booking) balance, this means the payment was deducted from the existing account credit or preloaded balance.
- It’s a convenient way to use funds already associated with the YGB account.
