  4. You'll also have Action Buttons to choose from.

    Action_buttons_in_Transactions_tab

At the bottom of the Charges & Payments box, you have Action buttons.

  1. Add a charge: This button allows you to manually add a charge to your customers' purchase. This could be used if you decide to break their payments into smaller amounts, or if they have decided to purchase an add-on. 
  2. Issue a credit: This button allows you to put into the system if you owe the customer money. This is usually used for processing a partial or full refund. 
  3. Adjust collected tax: This allows you to either refund tax you've collected or collect an additional tax. This adjusts the collected tax without affecting anything else. Do this if the initial tax percent was wrong.
  4. Register payment: You would use this button if they have paid you outside of simplero such as in cash. 
  5. Manual Collect: Allows you to collect a manual charge just like the add a charge button. However, this is instant and not in the future. This will be done via the payment processor that is on file for this customers purchase. 
  6. Return money: This allows you to return money to the customer through their credit card without creating a credit note.
