📝 Overview

At DaySmart, we’re excited to help your business thrive! If you’re an Independent Service Provider (ISP) looking to accept credit card payments separate from the business easily, we’ve got you covered.

DaySmart Software allows you to set up multiple merchant accounts. Each Independent Service Provider should have their own merchant account ID so that card payments for their services are deposited directly into their individual bank account.


🛠️Enable Payments for the Employee Account

To enable an ISP merchant account, follow the steps to connect through the employee settings. This process ensures proper configuration for their account.

⚠️ Please Note:
For the ISP to connect and control their own merchant account settings, they will need to be set as a Manager, Full access, or Customize employee access, making sure to allow Add/Edit employees.

If the employee is set as a Service Provider, they will not have the ability to edit employees. Someone with a higher access level will need to control the account and settings on their behalf.

If you need assistance with changing the employee access settings, please see our guide below:
