If a Registrant selects the pay later option during their purchase the Events Grid will show a dollar value under Amount Due. To add a Payment to that purchase click on the Tools menu on the left side of their row.

This will launch a dialog window where you can select which items you are including in the payment by setting the toggle to **YES** next to the ticket level or add-on. Once you have selected the items, the total will be displayed and you can enter the **Payment Type**, **Check Number** if applicable, and include a **Memo** if desired. Before selecting a payment type you have the option to enter in a **Coupon Code** to give the purchaser a discount on their Pay Later transaction.

**NOTE:** Partial payments cannot be made, other than selecting individual tickets to pay at that time. For example, an event purchase for $1000.00 with 5 tickets will be $200.00 per ticket. A payment for $250.00 or $500.00 cannot be applied, the payment would have to be $200.00, $400.00, $600.00, etc.

If payment will be made with a credit card, you can select a card on file or enter a new credit card and billing information, and choose whether or not to include the processing fee.

If the constituent does not have a credit card on file, you can manually type in a card number by clicking on **New Credit Card**. Or, you can send the constituent a link from the Payment Methods tab in their profile.

Click on the green **Send Update Request** to generate an email to the constituent to request that they add a credit card to their account.

When the recipient clicks on the “**Click here to update**” link they will be directed to a unique, encrypted link to allow them to add their credit card information securely and it will be stored in their account.
