A second requirement of this feature is that you are subscribed to the Active-e Service Ticket service.
To submit a service ticket, customers can visit yourstore.com/aeserviceticket. The page display will vary based on whether or not the customer is logged in. There are a few areas on the page that can be customized in topics (Content > Manage Topics) in your admin console (yourstore.com/aesys)

It is now possible to require a Credit Card be entered prior to approving an estimate.
If this feature is configured (through new setting Edition.Service.RequireCreditForApproval) then a credit card entry/selection popup will require the customer to enter payment information before the estimate can be completed.
Saved cards on that account can be selected or a new card can be entered.
If a new card is entered, an email notification will be sent to an administrator account. New cards entered this way will include a Nick Name with the service reference number, helping administrators to match up credit cards with specific tickets.
