How to Update Credit Card Account Settings in Design Manager

You can update credit card account settings in Design Manager to hide old or closed cards from appearing as payment options. This article will guide you through the steps to modify account visibility in a few simple steps.

Additionally, this guide will also touch upon broader aspects of credit card account management, such as balance transfers and account consolidation.

Steps to Hide or Update a Credit Card Account

  1. Locate the Account Glossary: In the navigation menu on the left of the screen, locate the "Accounting" section, & select "accounts" under where it shows "general ledger".

  2. Edit the Account Type: Select the account associated with the credit card you want to hide. Then, change the "Account Type" from "Liability (Credit Card)" to "Liability". - Changing the account type will prevent the card from appearing in options like the "Pay With" menu or the "Credit Card" window.

  3. Set the Closure Date (Optional): If the account has been closed, you can also set the "Closed Fiscal Month" to the month the card was closed. This step helps keep your records more organized but is not required to hide the account.

  4. Consolidate Accounts: If you have multiple accounts for the same credit card, edit all transactions associated with the old account to point to the new account. Then, mark the old account as closed and change its "Account Type" from "Liability (Credit Card)" to "Liability."

Benefits of Editing Account Visibility

  • Simplify account management by consolidating multiple accounts for the same credit card.

  • Ensure accurate financial records by properly transferring balances and closing old accounts.

  • Prevent outdated or closed credit cards from being used accidentally.

  • Maintain an organized payment method list.

FAQs and Troubleshooting

How can I transfer balances between credit card accounts?

To transfer balances, create a journal entry where you debit the account to decrease and credit the account to increase, ensuring the amounts are equal.

Will the account information be permanently deleted when I hide the card?

No, hiding the card by changing its account type or setting a closure date will not delete its history. You can still access records linked to the account if needed.

Can I re-enable the card for payments later?

Yes, you can modify the account type back to "Liability (Credit Card)" at any time to make it visible in payment options again.
