Managing Transactions 

You can view your most recent transactions from Mobile Accept Payments Center in the PNC Mobile Banking app.

Select see all to see all your transactions for the last 180 days. 

You can use swipe or dip to accept a card payment from a card issued outside of the United States.

Manual entry is only available for cards issued in the U.S. 

When a customer disputes a transaction with their card issuer, the issuer will submit a claim for the transaction amount. We’ll debit your checking account for the transaction plus a $25 Chargeback Fee.

For example, if the chargeback amount is $10, we’ll debit your checking account $35. We’ll email you when a chargeback occurs. 

To dispute the chargeback, sign onto your PNC Integrated Payment Portal and go to the Payment Accept dashboard. From there you can submit your dispute with supporting documentation.

We’ll send you an email with our decision in around 10 to 12 business days.

If we’re able to reverse the chargeback, we’ll deposit the funds back into your account less the $25.00 chargeback fee.

  • Go to Mobile Accept Payments Center in the PNC Mobile Banking app
  • Select the transaction you'd like to refund under recent transactions - you may need to select see all to find it. 
  • Select refund.

    • View step-by-step visual tutorial

  • If void appears instead of refund, your customer's card hasn't been charged yet. Select void to cancel the transaction so your customer's card won't be charged.

    • View step-by-step visual tutorial

 

Transactions more than 180 days old. 

  • Sign into your PNC Integrated Payments Portal to access details on older transactions as well as issue refunds, if applicable. 

If a customer’s card is declined, it may be damaged or have insufficient funds. Have your customer try again or use a different card if possible.

Swipe/Dip: 2.60% + $0.10

  3. Select “create tax”
  4. Enter a tax label, such as “sales tax”

You don’t have to apply the preselected tax option to your transactions. You can select one of your other options from the tax dropdown on the “Accept Payment” screen

To apply multiple taxes to a single transaction, create a combined tax that adds those individual taxes together.

When you add this tax to a transaction, it will be calculated on the total sales amount with the tax rate you entered.

Ensure all tax settings are accurate before proceeding.

To accept tips from customers:

  1. Go to “Settings”
  2. Select “manage tips”
  3. Toggle on “enable tipping”
