How to change the setup of the receive payment screen Desktop Pro Plus 2024

I've been trying to figure out how to change the layout of the receive payments screen. I've found the layout designer, and have read several other articles, but what I've found isn't what I am trying to do. On the receive payment page, there is a button that when clicked, it opens another window with a drop down so you can pick which credit card someone is paying with. My goal is to have the different credit card options on their own clickable buttons so I don't have to use a drop down. In other words, I want each credit card name (Visa, MC, AMEX, etc) to the right of the line that has CASH, CHECK, ECHECK, etc. When processing a lot of payments, it would save a lot of time if I didn't have to use the drop down to select the credit card type. We never store the credit card info, so I don't need that field either on the drop down section. Honestly, I'm not sure this can even be done, but I thought I'd ask. Sorry for the quality of the screen shot. Thank you.

Having credit card options with clickable buttons can indeed save time when processing payments from your customer, FaceFusion.
 
Currently, the available buttons correspond to the payment methods you've mentioned, such as Cash, Check, and E-check. However, know that you can set up your customer's Preferred Payment Method in their profile without storing credit card information. This ensures that the selected payment method automatically appears on the credit/debit card tile whenever you process a payment.

 

Here is a visual reference you can compare after setting up the payment method on your end:

 

We also value user suggestions to improve our existing features or introduce new ones to the program. You can send a feature request through our feedback channel, which helps our development team prioritize enhancements that better meet your needs.

Here's how:

 

  1. Open your QBDT company file.
  2. Go to Help, then choose Send Feedback Online.
  3. Select Product Suggestion.
  4. Fill in the necessary information, and click Send Feedback once done.
