Stored Payment Info

Posted September 01, 2026
Stored Payment Info is a record that references a saved credit card or eCheck in your payment processor. Each household in the school's database may have multiple Stored Payments, one for each Stored Payment Type designated by the school. Stored Payment Info is used to process payments for development, finance, online store, and summer school.

Some payment processors support storing customer payment information as an additional service, allowing a school to process tuition installments, pledge payments and other types of receipts. To process future credit card or eCheck payments with stored payment information, the school must subscribe to this service with its payment processor.

To access and update Stored Payment Info (requires the Stored Payment role):

- Navigate to Finance>AR>Customers>Dashboard>Customer Details>Stored Payment Info

OR

- Navigate to Development>Contacts>Dashboard>Contact Details>Stored Payment Info

Note: PCR Educator does not store credit card or bank account information.

Note: Stored payment information is supported for Authorize.Net, Network Merchants, Moneris, L19, PaySimple, and Stripe. The terminology for this storage varies by payment processor:
Authorize.Net: Customer Information Manager, or CIM
Network Merchants: Customer Vault

Note: Enable a “Card Not Present” setting with the payment processor to allow such payments to be processed.
