CheckIn includes a function to allow for information from previous purchases to be reused, without the security risk of storing Credit Card numbers.
To enable this feature, go to Admin > Workstation > Credit Card and set "Turn On Repeat Sale Payment Option" to Y.
On an SRO, Order or Invoice, this will reveal a new Payment Method button, "Repeat Sale."
When "Repeat Sale" is chosen as the payment method, if the customer has previous Credit Card transactions recorded, a window will appear to allow the selection of the information from a previous transaction to be used to process payment for the current Invoice.
(Payments are processed based on the Transaction ID -- the Credit Card number, expiration date and security code are not stored.)
From this point, the transaction will complete like any other, and the payment will be recorded.
