Tender Types

You must know a payment's tender type before you can begin payment processing. There are separate sets of API calls to handle payments by credit cards, gift cards, and PayPal. To find out the tender type for an account number, use the Tender Type Lookup API.

The tender type codes listed below identify the most common tender types. Depending on your store's setup, there might be other tender types configured for your store. Check with your Radial project manager for this information.
