# Payment Types Example

## Summary

Payment types are the methods that an account can use to make payments. This guide will provide an example on how to add a 'Check' offline payment type in the LogiSense Billing application.

Offline payment types are used to record payments in the application, they do not trigger payment processing through a gateway when they are used to make a payment.

Payment types that go through a payment gateway are added automatically when the payment gateway is configured, you do not need to configure these online payment types. See the [Payment Gateway Example](https://learn.logisense.com/docs/613154890/) for instructions on how to configure a gateway.

## Prerequisites

- Payment types can be setup immediately, there are no prerequisite configuration steps

## Configuration Steps

1. Log into the LogiSense Billing Application
2. Navigate to **Setup** / **Users & Accounts** / **Owner** / **Configuration**
3. Select the **Payment Types** option on the left
4. In the **Edit Owner Configuration*****Payment Types*** section click the  to the right of the **Payment Types** tab
5. On the **Add Payment Type** modal that loads give the payment type a **Name**, and enable the **Active** checkbox. Optionally you can assign a [GL Code](https://learn.logisense.com/docs/606797831/) to the type and a Description

See the [Payment](https://logisense.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/V10/pages/613154890)[G](https://learn.logisense.com/docs/613154890/)[ateway Example](https://logisense.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/V10/pages/613154890) for instructions on how to configure a gateway
- **Email Settings Optional Steps**:
  - **Optional**: Email settings allow the system to send emails. New users cannot be emailed with a link to setup their passwords until email settings are configured. This step does not need to be completed until you are ready to setup new users. See the [Email Settings Configuration Example](https://learn.logisense.com/docs/636158602/) for instructions on how to setup and test email Settings
- **Users and Roles Optional Steps**:
  - **Optional**: Users and roles define who can access the system and what they can access. See the [Role Group Configuration Example](https://www.logisense.com/learn/docs/article/609485123/) article as a starting point for setting up users and roles
- **Account Settings Required Steps**:
