(**Note**: We do not recommend turning this on until you are comfortable with billing and have ensured the accuracy of your pricing.  This will also require you to be using one of CurbWaste's merchant integrations and you will have to add a credit card on file to all customers assigned to these policies.) ### How do I Set Up Automated Credit Card Payments? Automated Credit Card Payments can be set up by configuring a Payment Policy, with Payment Method set as "Automated Credit Card" by following these steps:    - First, toggle to **Settings > Payment Policies** - Configure Policy with required inputs and select **"Automated Credit Card"** as **Payment Method** - **Attach Policy to Customer Accounts** that you would like automated payments configured on by visiting the **Customer Page > Click into Customer > Add Payment Policy** (*Please note: credit cards can also be added on the order level as well to protect users from placing an order without a credit card*) - **Attach Credit Card to Customer Accounts** that you would like automated payments configured on by visiting the **Customer Page > Click into Customer > Add Credit Card** (*Please note: credit cards can also be added on the order level as well to protect users from placing an order without a credit card*) - Once an Automated Credit Card Policy is attached to a customer **the system will automatically run the customer’s credit card on file** when the payment due date is reached on their invoices.  (*Please note: only the first invoice will be automatically charged, any invoices that occur after that first invoice such as overages, overloads, etc. will require users to charge by using the Receive Payment functionality)* For any questions on how to configure Automated Credit Card Payment Policies or how to use this functionality, please reach out to our CS team! *Last Updated At: 2/2/2025* - [General](https://knowledgebase.curbwaste.com/general?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Feature Release Communications](https://knowledgebase.curbwaste.com/general?hsLang=en#feature-release-communications) - [CurbWaste Terminology](https://knowledgebase.curbwaste.com/general?hsLang=en#curbwaste-terminology) - [Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)](https://knowledgebase.curbwaste.com/frequently-asked-questions-faq?hsLang=en) - [Settings and Configuration](https://knowledgebase.curbwaste.com/settings-and-configuration?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Resources](https://knowledgebase.curbwaste.com/settings-and-configuration?hsLang=en#resources) - [General Settings](https://knowledgebase.curbwaste.com/settings-and-configuration?hsLang=en#general-settings) - [Pricing Configurations](https://knowledgebase.curbwaste.com/settings-and-configuration?hsLang=en#pricing-configurations) - [Integrations](https://knowledgebase.curbwaste.com/settings-and-configuration?hsLang=en#integrations) - [Dashboard](https://knowledgebase.curbwaste.com/dashboard?hsLang=en) - [Orders](https://knowledgebase.curbwaste.com/orders?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Driver Mobile App Workflows](https://knowledgebase.curbwaste.com/orders?hsLang=en#driver-mobile-app-workflows) - [Order Form Fields](https://knowledgebase.curbwaste.com/orders?hsLang=en#order-form-fields) - [Customers](https://knowledgebase.curbwaste.com/customers?hsLang=en) - [Billing](https://knowledgebase.curbwaste.com/billing?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Quickbooks](https://knowledgebase.curbwaste.com/billing?hsLang=en#quickbooks) - [Reporting](https://knowledgebase.curbwaste.com/reporting?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Billing Reports](https://knowledgebase.curbwaste.com/reporting?hsLang=en#billing-reports) - [Service Reports](https://knowledgebase.curbwaste.com/reporting?hsLang=en#service-reports) - [Inventory Management](https://knowledgebase.curbwaste.com/inventory-management?hsLang=en) - [Locations](https://knowledgebase.curbwaste.com/locations?hsLang=en) - [Routing](https://knowledgebase.curbwaste.com/routing?hsLang=en) - [Dispatch](https://knowledgebase.curbwaste.com/dispatch?hsLang=en) - [CurbPOS](https://knowledgebase.curbwaste.com/curbpos?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Billing](https://knowledgebase.curbwaste.com/curbpos?hsLang=en#billing) - [Drivers](https://knowledgebase.curbwaste.com/curbpos?hsLang=en#drivers) # CurbWaste curbwaste.com Help Center Copyright © 2026, CurbWaste
