Here you can add the distributor's preferred payment method and configure automatic payments.
This panel is active after you have configured an external payment system and associated it with the currency the distributor is charged in. Automatic payment configuration is available with payment systems that do not require credit card security code verification (they either store the security code or use tokens to process payments).
If the external payment system supports token-based payment processing, this panel becomes active once a distributor adds a payment method via the self-care interface.
To view the payment method details, click Info .
To delete the payment method, click Delete .
Charge the invoice amount using this method

-
Yes – the distributor’s credit card will be charged once an invoice is generated.
-
No – the distributor’s credit card will not be charged automatically.
