Problems and Solutions

No credit card payment type in Pre-Reg Process payment
Solution: Add a global setting which specifies which payment types pre-reg process payment allows.

Error message: Payment Type Incorrect
Error message: Payment Type Incorrect,   Couldn't use payment type xxx because the administrator has not allowed that payment type.
Solution: The payment type global setting has been set, and the payment type selected was not in the list of allowed payment types.  Change the global setting as discussed to allow the paymen type you want to allow.
