    If you have Shopify / Blackpurl integration, there will also be a Payment Method called Webstore 



The Dealership has the ability to select which of these Payment Methods they want to use in Blackpurl


1. From the Blackpurl Header > click on > System Settings 




2. From the System Settings Dashboard > Settings & Controls




3.  From the Systems & Control options > Payment Methods

Using the toggle on each Payment Method to indicate if your Dealership wants it to be active or not in your Blackpurl


If for the Payment Methods of Visa / Mastercard / Amex / Discover, the Dealership wants to setup an automatic surcharge fee payable by the customer upon payment by these methods, enable the toggle 



Then follow the setup of the Payment Method Surcharge using this article - Payment Method Surcharge - Setup / Where it is available in Blackpurl




4.  Once you have completed this, only those active Payment Methods will be available for selection in the

Deposit and Checkout sections of a Customer Order


For example - Checkout section below




5.  If your Dealership has Accounting Integration, you will also need to review the relevant General Ledger 

attached to your new Payment Method


It will automatically default to the same General Ledger as set on the Undeposited Cash

TIP:

For the Payment Method of AfterPay / PayPal, if you need further assistance on how to process the payments once they have been received into your Bank Account in your Accounting Package, please review our article - How to Process AfterPay / PayPal (Payment Methods) in your Accounting Package


Charge on Account


We also give Dealerships the option of Charge on Account


This means that the Customer is not paying for the Customer Order in Blackpurl but the Dealership want to issue an unpaid Invoice




If you do not have Account Integration - it will be up to the Dealership to chase down payment of this invoice


If you do have Account Integration - the invoice will integrate from Blackpurl to your Accounting Package as unpaid and sit on the Customer Record (Accounts Receivable)


Chasing up of the unpaid invoice will be done from your Accounting Package ie issuing Customer Statements etc


If the Dealership then receives payment of the Invoice in your Accounting Package, remember that the Blackpurl side of it, will not be updated


The invoice in Blackpurl will always say Charge on Account but if payments have been made by the Customer against the Charge on Account Invoice, the Blackpurl user will be able to see how much has been paid if the user reprint the Invoice in Blackpurl


It will list the Accounts Receiving balance of that Invoice on the reprint 




Restricting Charge on Account


There is a System Setting that you can enable if you wish to restrict the use of Charge on Account 


To set up the restriction of the use of Charge on Account, navigate to System Setting > Settings & Controls > Shop Settings - Restrict use of Charge on Account by customer



When this is enabled, this means that the Blackpurl Customer Record MUST be marked YES to Allow Charge on Account to be an option in checkout for this Customer 



This can be changed on the Customer Record by clicking on and then select / deselect the relevant box
