You can request your desired payment services by logging into your PDCflow Account \> Clicking **Configure** \> then **Payment Settings** \> Lastly, Request the desired service. Once a service has been requested, a PDCflow team member will be in touch with you to provide additional information or next-steps to apply for the requested processing accounts.  ![Screenshot 2026-02-11 at 2.34.52 PM](https://support.pdcflow.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202026-02-11%20at%202.34.52%20PM.png?width=587&height=197&name=Screenshot%202026-02-11%20at%202.34.52%20PM.png) \*Please note: If the 'Credit Card Payments' option says "Add Cards", you will instantly be redirected to the Card processing application and will not require a PDCflow team member to connect with you before applying.  - Once your processing accounts are approved, our Customer Success Team will set up each service with a corresponding Account directive in the same Payment Settings area to reflect each payment service available to you.  ### Managing Directives in Your PDCflow Account Access directive settings by selecting the Configure tab in your PDCflow account \> clicking **Payment Settings**. The active directives for your PDCflow account will load as a list. To view or edit details of a directive, click Edit. - **Directive Name**: Set the visible name for the Directive that should appear on payment details - **Activation Status**: Set a Directive to Active or Inactive (if a Directive is set to Inactive, future payments can be reassigned to another available and valid Directive) - **Allowed Card Types**: Set a Card Directive to accept specific card types  - **SEC Code**: Assign the Authorization-required SEC Code for a check Directive (learn more about Authorization Requirements and NACHA-mandated SEC codes [here](https://support.pdcflow.com/hubfs/PDF%20Downloads%20-%20Compliance%20/%5BGuide%5D%20Electronic%20Funds%20Transfer%20Act%20Authorization%20Requirements_PDCflow.pdf?hsLang=en))  \*For security reasons, many sensitive payment settings can only be updated by contacting our Customer Success Team. To initiate other updates to a directive, send an email and non-sensitive information about the needed change to support@pdcflow.com. #### Need Additional Help?
