Setting Payment Methods Accepted at Gala Event

Specify which payment options will appear on the Check-Out Screen at your gala.

To Set Payment Methods:  

Go to Admin > Site Settings > Payments/Credit Card > Gala Payment Options  (note: only users with Chair role can access this page).

Select your preferred payment options for Gala (In-Person) Check-Out. 

The Default Payment Method you select will appear FIRST in the Payment Options Dropdown Menu.

If you plan to process credit cards outside of the software (via Square, Intuit, or an External Terminal), go to Site Settings > Payments/Credit Card > Custom/External Payments and enable the External Payment Option. (Custom/External payments are not available with Acorn subscriptions.)

Payment methods accepted, as they appear on check-out screen:

Go to Auction Night > Check-Out.

  1. If you have enabled the Prepay Cash for Incidentals feature (which allows guests to prepay cash for items such as drinks or raffle tickets), any recorded cash payments will appear on the Check-Out screen in the Completed Payments section.
  2. The Payment Method Dropdown Menu displays the selected default method along with all other available payment methods.
