How do I run a test charge after enabling Opus1 Payments?

A test charge serves two important purposes:

1. Verifies your setup – Confirms that your payment configuration is complete and functioning correctly.

2. Prepares payout timing – The first transaction processed through Opus1 Payments may take longer than usual to prepare for payout. Completing a test charge ensures that your first real billing cycle follows the standard T+2 timeline (transaction date + 2 business days).

Steps to run a test charge

1. Navigate to a staff profile.

2. Click the three dots (⋯) and select “Switch to Client Profile.”

   

3. In the blue menu, click the “Charge/Invoice Client” icon.
   

4. On the Charge Client page, complete the required fields.

   A charge amount of $1 is sufficient for testing.

5. Proceed with the charge by clicking “Process Charge” after filling out the fields.

Important notes

• Allow the charge to fully process.
• Do not void, refund, or modify the transaction after submitting it.

Running this test ensures a smooth transition to Opus1 Payments and helps avoid delays with your first scheduled payouts.
