Specifying Payment Methods

The orders that NetSuite Connector imports to post to NetSuite should use a specific payment method. This payment method determines the account that NetSuite uses for the transaction. Also, most connectors indicate the payment method that a customer used for an order.

Every payment method used in a marketplace or cart (for example, Visa, MasterCard, or PayPal) should have a corresponding payment method in NetSuite. There are some marketplaces (like Amazon) where the payment method is not available, but you still need to create a payment method in NetSuite for that marketplace (for example, a payment method called ‘Amazon’).

You can add new payment methods from Setup > Accounting > Setup Tasks > Accounting Lists > New, and then selecting Payment Method. For more information, see Creating a Payment Method. After adding payment methods, they will be available on your transactions. For example, on a sales order the Payment Method field is on the Billing subtab, and on a cash sale it is on the Payment subtab.
