Collection - Credit Card Types

The Credit Card Types selection in the Collection folder is used to edit credit card type codes. Credit card type codes are used by the Customer Service program to create a pick-list that is available when entering a credit card type. Credit card types you do not support should be removed to prevent them from being accidentally accepted.
