Across the top are drop downs with the default selection showing. To change them for the current transaction, click on the down arrows to the right of each word (defaults can be set in payment settings).
- Type of sale: Sale or refund
- Tender type: Card, cash, check or ACH
- Presentment type:

The type and presence of tender will determine the fields available to process the payment.
Select "Advanced" in blue at the bottom of the pop-out to access additional data fields that can be added to the payment. Please note all fields under the advanced section are optional.
Now you will see the pop-out has expanded with the following fields:
