Payment Type - Create a custom payment

Written By Ascend knowledge base (Administrator)

Ascend includes the most common payment types by default. However, you may need additional payment types to account for your specific business practices (like customer satisfaction credits) or third-party service and integrations like Trek Financing, Klarna, and Square payments. Ascend makes it easy to accept new payment types using custom payments.
