How do I process a payment using a credit card swipe in SDL?
Credit card payments are processed through the Municipay integration.
- On any payment screen, click the green credit card button in the payment grid.
- This opens a window waiting for the card swipe, along with a Municipay screen (assuming Municipay is already configured).
- Swipe the card — the point-of-sale terminal should recognize the transaction.
- Complete the transaction on the terminal.
- The payment automatically updates in both SDL and Municipay, which sends the payment information back to assign funds to the correct fee items.
Important: Municipay integration must be set up before this feature can be used, which requires a Vendor Authorization Reference form from Municipay. To get started, contact Support and specify which module needs credit card processing.
