Credit Card Processing
How do I process and track credit card payments in ampEducator?
ampEducator has the ability to accept credit card payments directly from within the Financial profile of student accounts using both admin and student login. We support several merchant accounts already - if we don't support yours we can add it for a small fee. It take between 4-8 hours to set up a new merchant account. What merchant (bank) credit card processing company do you current use? If you don't have one or would like to switch to the ones we currently support here is the list of options:
- Authorize.net
- ForwardLine
- Google Checkout
- HSBC (CPI)
- Paypal Payments Pro
To setup your account, please follow these steps:
- Configure your merchant account to ampEducator by going to Configuration >Financial >Merchant Gateway.
- Select your Merchant Gateway from the available list.
- Enter user name and password provided to you by your merchant gateway.
- Setup Refund Policy disclaimer text.
- Select the Account in ampEducator that you wish to apply the payments towards.
- Provide the description that will appear on the payee billing statement.
Once you set up your merchant account in the Configuration > Financials you need to provide your students with login access. Each student has login credentials (username and password) that can be set up and emailed to the student in the Student Profile, under the "Other" tab.
You can email the login info to each student manually with the username and password you assign them... OR (the easier method) is to go to the Student List and click 'padlock' icon to the right and this will send each student a password reset email automatically from the system.
Once the student has login access they can sign in and click on My Financial and Make Credit Card Payment.
