    Let's take a look at your forward declaration of paymentMethod:
    Code:
    void paymentMethod(int);
    So, paymentMethod is a function that has an int parameter and void return type. You neglected the parameter name, but that is legal in a forward declaration, though I would recommend including the parameter name anyway.

    Now, let's take a look at how you call it:
    Code:
    paymentMethod();
    You call paymentMethod as if it is a function that has no parameters. Clearly, there is a mismatch here. Finally, let's take a look at the start of your definition of paymentMethod:
    Code:
    void paymentMethod()
    {
    So, this matches how you call paymentMethod. Perhaps you should change the forward declaration of paymentMethod...

    Except that I note that a function that has no parameters and void return type can only have a net effect by side effects, or by changing global variables. From what I see, paymentMethod is intended to request the payment method from the user, which means that it must have some way to set that payment method such that the caller can access it. Now, you are indeed using global variables, but you should stop that immediately: your variables should only be local to a function, passed around as needed. Therefore, you probably also need to change paymentMethod to have a non-void return type, or possibly a pointer parameter.

"Finding the smallest program that demonstrates the error" is a powerful debugging tool.
