Single Credit Card Transaction

The Single Credit Card Transaction form enables you to process one time only credit card payments through Billing Tree. You can update Debtor information, create a Cosigner instead, enter the credit card details and amount of the payment, and add a convenience fee to the payment.

When you post a single credit card payment through Billing Tree, the payment is processed immediately. Collect! will let you know at once whether or not the payment went through. A successful payment is posted in Collect! along with a convenience fee transaction, if you elected to charge a convenience fee.
