In order to track your card manually you must first create a credit card account:
- Go to the Accounts tab.
- Click "+Manual Account" (web app) or "Manual" (mobile app) to create a manual account.
- Add the credit card name, current balance, and select "Credit Card" as the account type.
Once you create the credit card account, an envelope tied to that account will automatically be created for you under the "Debt" grouping on your Envelopes and Plan tabs. When you make purchases with the credit card, simply create transactions and assign them to the appropriate envelopes (i.e., Groceries, Restaurants, and so on). Then the app will move funds from the assigned envelope into your credit card envelope, indicating the purchase was made but you have not yet "paid" for the transaction (which happens when you pay the credit card bill). Go back to the "How Credit Cards Work in the FaithFi App" section of this guide to learn more.
When you pay your credit card, it will result in two transactions. One transaction will be a withdrawal from your checking account. The other will be a deposit transaction to your credit card envelope. These two offsetting transactions will both need to be assigned to the credit card's envelope. To check if this is done correctly, your credit card envelope balance should match the credit card's account balance.
