Using Two Payment Methods for One Purchase

You can use two different payment methods for one purchase in a two-step transaction process.

To make a purchase and pay with two different payment methods, complete the following steps:

  1. Shop for the item and follow the steps to begin the checkout process.

  1. On the Payment Information page, select a Payment Method.
  2. The Payment Amount field defaults to the total amount due. Enter a value less than the total amount due so a balance will be left on the order.

  1. Complete the checkout process.
  2. Notice the Payment amount shown. This is the amount you just paid using the first payment method.

    Notice the Order Balance that is remaining on the Confirmation screen. This is the amount you will pay using the second payment method.

  1. Complete the checkout process.

To use a second payment method for this order, you must access a page that allows you to add a payment. In this example,  you will add the payment from the Individual Profile.

  1. Click the Add Payment icon.

  1. From the list of Open Order/Invoices, click the check box for the order to which you would like to add the second payment method.

  1. Click the Next button to continue through the Payment Wizard.
  2. Select the second Payment Method you will use for this order on the Payment Information screen.
  3. Enter the amount to be paid by this second payment method in the Payment Amount field. (In this example, the full balance is being paid off, however you may choose to  make a partial payment if desired.)

  1. Continue through the Payment Wizard to complete the payment process.

To view the payments, navigate to the Invoice Profile. The Payments section of the Invoice Profile display the payments that have been made towards this invoice.

Note: While this example only used two different payment methods for this invoice, it is possible to use more than two payment methods if needed by following the steps to add a payment above and choosing the desired payment method.
