Settings - Users - Payment Methods

Libraries can configure payment methods that are allowed for specific fee/fine owners.

The fee/fine owner must exist before a payment method can be created and associated to that owner.

These methods show up in the drop-down menu for transactions on fines associated with those owners.

You can also specify if a specific payment method is also allowed to be refunded. So, for example, you may decide that cash can be refunded, but credit transactions cannot.

Note that refund method = yes is on by default. So if you don't want refunds to be allowed, you need to change that setting.
