<aside> 💡 If you're here, you're likely seeking a better understanding of payment processes within BETA.

An integrated payment allows you to collect payment from a client directly from the BETA Point of Sale via direct integration with that payment provider. In this way, customers can pay without the need for manually entering transaction totals into card terminals or recording the result of the transaction in BETA. Integrated payments increase efficiency and reduce errors for your gym.
Integrated payments are created and managed via an integration. They can not be manually updated because their state, timestamps, and external ID reflect the values stored in the external service.
