Debiting Accounts

When you debit a check payment user, the amount is subtracted from the account balance. When you debit a credit card payment user, the amount is first subtracted from the account balance, and when the credit limit is reached, all the negative balance is charged to the credit card. Once you have debited an account, you can't put the money back to the credit card, you can only credit the account balance or send this amount by check.

To debit an account once or periodically:

1. Find the account using the Search utility.
2. Click the Service+ icon in the Billing column next to the necessary user.
3. Fill out the selected debit option and click Add:
   - One-time debit
   - Month based debit
   - Billing period based debit

Later on you can also view existing custom debits.
