Making a Payment

Administrators: You're viewing instructions for users making a payment. To read more about collecting and processing payments as an administrator, see Collecting and Processing Payments

When making any payment, the screen will show one or more payments pending, including the detail for each. If there is only one payment shown, it will be checked. If multiple payments are shown, none of them will be checked; you must check at least one to pay, or select the Check All box to select all items.

Payment screen

Credits

If any credits are available, they will be automatically applied up to the amount of the pending payment. ANy additional amount is available to be used or a future transaction.

Discount Coupons

Discount coupons can be applied on the payment page. If there are published coupons that apply to the transaction(s) on the page, users will see a field to enter a coupon code.

Partial Payments

Some event registrations allow a partial payment to be made. If you see a pencil icon beside the transaction amount, click it to modify the amount. You will see a recommended payment amount. The system will also enforce a minimum payment amount that is set for each event. Type the partial payment amount and press [Tab] or click off the field. You can also click the Undo icon to revert to the original amount owing.

Scheduled Payments

Some event registrations allow a partial payment to be made on a schedule specified by the event creator. If an event has an associated payment schedule, the check box next to the transaction is grayed out and you may check one or more individual lines. You may make more than one payment at a time, but only in chronological order.

Payment Methods

Members and non-members can choose from the following payment methods:

  • Credit card processed on this website
  • PayPal (if enabled)
  • Print invoice to send with check

Buttons at the bottom of the screen:

  • Submit Payment will appear for credit card transactions. Done will appear for all other payment types when you are just recording a payment received.
  • Print Invoice (Report) allows an admin to print an invoice as a report. When members or non-members view this screen, they will see Print Invoice (PDF), a slightly different option that directly displays a PDF invoice.
  • Print this Page generates a direct, printable version of the page.
  • Pay Later is the equivalent of the “Cancel” function, allowing you to leave this page without making or recording a payment. Note that if one of the listed event registration transactions requires Immediate Payment (a special option available for events only), this button will not be displayed. A payment must be made or recorded.
