Manually Processing a Credit Card Payment

Processing a manual payment is necessary when automated payment systems are not in place or have failed. It ensures that the client’s payment is still recorded accurately and promptly, preventing any service disruptions, late fees, or penalties. Handling manual payments also allows for flexibility in special cases, such as custom payment arrangements or when resolving issues with billing. This process ensures accurate financial records and maintains client satisfaction by accommodating their payment preferences or resolving any issues quickly.
