Payment Methods

Payment methods are the acceptable methods by which your customers pay for goods and services. Typically these include cash, check, Visa, MasterCard, and other credit cards. The ability to charge to an account is one type of payment method, but that is built into the accounts receivable system so we do not describe it here.
