- How credit card processing works in Tabs3Tabs3 works with TSYS Merchant Solutions to provide merchant accounts for use in Tabs3 and Tabs3 Trust Accounting Software. Secure, fully compliant credit card processing Tabs3 Credit Card Authorization Module has been reviewed and accepted by the Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council (PCI SSC) <<Switch to Tabs3 >>Tabs3 Customization | Merchant Services “What is a merchant account?”A pass through account that enables your firm to receive cash from credit card transactions. The ability to authorize Credit Card transactions is provided with Tabs3 at no charge, but the TSYS merchant account does incur processing fees. The types of credit cards accepted can be defined for each merchant account and include Visa®, MasterCard®, Discover®, American Express®, and Diners Club®.Payfuse – is the portal used by FNMS to handle the credit card transaction<<Switch to Tabs3 Payment Editor>> When a credit card payment is entered into Tabs3, the transaction information is sent to FNMS for processing. Tabs3 encrypts and transmits cardholder data to FNMS; however, Tabs3 does not store sensitive cardholder information. Firms can have these payments from their FNMS merchant account deposited directly into their existing bank accountsThere is no need to change your existing overall banking relationships. <<Enter a Credit Card Payment>>For ease of use, Tabs3 credit card authorization supports integration with Magtek® Magstripe Mini Swipe (USB) credit card readers. Using a card reader may also reduce the fees for a credit card transaction.Credit Card Receipt - when authorized as well as at a later time.Credit Card Authorization List - print a list of authorized credit card transactionsYou can include charges, voids, credits, or any combination thereof. This report can be used to balance with your Settlement Reports on the PayFuse Web site.Tabs3 Credit Card Authorization also supports Crediting/Voiding and/or Payment Adjustments
- Trust Accounting considerationsTabs3 Trust Accounting System Version 15.3 allows credit card depositsTalk to your state bar about rules for accepting credit card payments for trust accounts - rules differ by state.Tabs3 Trust Accounting Software lets you assign merchant accounts to each bank account. TSYS Merchant Solutions allows you to designate a separate bank account (such as your operating account) for debiting processing fees, thus providing the ability to properly handle trust funds.<<Enter a deposit in Trust>>When using Tabs3 and Trust you will have 2 different merchant accounts (I am using the same for demo purposes today) Processing fees are debited from the designated account once a month instead of for each transaction for easy reconciliation. When you enter a $100.00 deposit, the full $100.00 is deposited into your bank accountMuch easier to reconcile than dealing with a per transaction fee<<Switch to TSYS Merchant Solutions>>TSYS Merchant Solutions (FNMS)Turn over to Ben Wallace
