Adding Address, Reference Number, Items, Discounts, and Tax

Enter the Address, Reference Number, Items, and Discounts to a transaction by expanding the corresponding field

• Address
• If a saved card is selected, the address associated with that card will be auto-populated in the Address field
• Address Verification Service (AVS) is supported for First Data Omaha, TSYS, and Worldpay merchant accounts. AVS lets you feed a cardholder’s address when taking keyed transactions, and the address will be checked against the cardholder’s address on file with the processor to offer additional verification and fraud prevention. The AVS response will be displayed in the transaction details page for Virtual Terminal transactions that utilize AVS.

• “Taxable” checkbox determines whether or not an item will be taxed during a transaction

• Add a Discount to a transaction by selecting a previously created Discount 
• If a Discount has not been created, this section will not appear on the Virtual Terminal
• When tax is enabled, it will appear next to the amount
• Select from multiple tax rates by using the dropdown menu

• Tax is required for Level 2 Interchange Qualification
