How do I save a credit card on file so I can charge clients automatically?

The title of this thread has been edited from the original: Storing credit card information

My clients normally pay with check or cash, but I keep their credit card information on file in case they become delinquent with their payments so I can automatically charge them and collect.  How do I store their information in Square for future use without charging them right away?

Step strps

1. Store the credit card in the client profile. 

2. Get a credit card authorization form which square provides on their website. 

3. Make sure somewhere it says you’ll bill their card for delinquent payments.

Can you tell me where on Square website to find credit card authorization form? I've searched to no avail.

THanks!

Where do I find the client profile so I can set up re-occurring payments

Hi @paverwebdesign - Welcome to The Seller Community, it's always nice to see a new face 😊

Great Question.

Here are the steps to accessing client profiles:

Edit Customer Profiles Online · From the Customers tab in your online Square Dashboard, click a customer's name to view their full profile > click Edit.

Update the necessary information for reoccurring payments.
