PAYMENT PROCESSING
Whenever a
payment is required as part of registration, the online form will
automatically total the amount owing by each participant based on
the selections they make.
Early bird pricing can be set up to automatically change at a set
date and time and member/non-member prices can also be set.
We offer five different ways to handle payment collection. Event
Planners determine the options available on their registration
forms.
1. Credit Card - Real Time Transactions
When using this method for handling credit cards, transactions
happen in real time. From the online from, participants enter their
credit card information and click “submit”. Within a few seconds
they know if the transaction is approved or declined. Results of
each transaction are automatically recorded in the event database
along with the rest of the information from the registration form.
The event participant will receive an electronic receipt via email.
Real time credit card processing requires an online merchant
account. The client has the option to open their own online merchant
account with their bank and an account with a gateway company (a
gateway company is required to facilitate the transactions) or use
ePly’s merchant and gateway company accounts. When the client is
using their own merchant account, funds will be deposited directly
into their bank account. If ePly’s merchant account is used, the
funds will be deposited into ePly’s account and then transferred to
the client once per month along with a statement of transactions.
The main advantage of real time transactions is that it eliminates
the manual processing of credit cards. The cost of automatic
processing is made up for with the savings in labour and in the
added convenience.
2. Cheque
This option works in a similar way as paying with cash except
participants will see instructions about how and where to send their
cheques.
3. Request an invoice
Some organizations may require an invoice before making payment. If
this is the case, the event participant can select the invoice
option and have one automatically generated for the amount due sent
via email. The online payment report will show which participants
have requested an invoice and how much they owe.
4. Cash
Participants paying by cash will see a screen showing the
total they owe and instructions about how to make their
payment after they submit their registration. These details
can also be sent to participants via email. When the event
planner receives the payment they can update the online
payment report. |
