Credit Card Charge Import
To be able to import credit card charges data, your company must have a credit card account. To learn how to create a credit card account for your company, see Creating Company Credit Card Accounts.
After you have added a credit card account, you can import credit card charges and refunds CSV data. For information about importing credit card refunds data, see Credit Card Refund Import.
