Payment processing methods
Direct transactions from the Internet
This payment method allows the client’s credit card to be debited immediately after its validity and the relevant bank account funds have been checked. Authorization is given by banks in real time.
All transactions are visible immediately in the merchant's history of sales. The merchant and the client are informed by processing company about the acceptance of the transaction.
The security system is informed when a transaction has been refused by the Credit Card Group or when there has been a fraud attempt.
Subscriptions
Payments for an Internet service, cable television, a monthly subscription to a newspaper or membership of a club are some examples of how this package can be used. With high risk merchant account, it is possible to offer a trial period with a lower first installment. On the same site, it is very easy to offer several subscription packages.
For the merchant each charge is considered as a sole transaction with an automatic renewal according to the package defined by the merchant in his administration control panel.
The subscriptions’ setting allows creating a mini-catalog with the different types of subscriptions, with different periodicity (one up to six month selection into a rolling list) and amount. Each payment is processed as a classical transaction and is included individually in the sales history. Each debit generates an e-mail to the client and to the merchant. All subscribers can be deleted or managed in the corresponding interface.
Payments by installment
The installment payments function allows the merchant to cash the first payment. The payment of the balance is fully automatic, with no intervention required from the merchant. The setting-up of installment payments, allows the creation of a mini-catalog of all installment payments:
An amount shared in 2 to 4 payments of the same amount over a period of 4 months.
A first payment and the balance to be paid on a date indicated by the merchant.
Each payment is processed as a classical transaction and is included individually in the sales history. Each debit generates an e-mail to the client and to the merchant.
Phone, letter or fax orders
For small web-based e-commerce companies, for processing phone or mail-orders, or even for traditional merchants (shop, hotel, restaurant, agency...), there is also the possibility of accessing secure electronic payments from the administration office, which provides access to a web page so that credit cards can be entered directly and a mini catalog created for the most frequently items affected by this payment method.
E-mail payment
After the client has accepted a quote, the merchant enters the clients’ information and the amount into the administration database. The client receives an e-mail with a link to the payment page where he must enter his credit card confidential information.
Dynamic return of data
For every transaction accepted or refused, the processing gateway provides a dynamic return which can be used to update a database (invoice, delivery, or other informations) or to deliver an online service.
Production and test modes
If the merchant wishes to stop temporarily the online payments, he can whenever he wants, switch his account to the test mode, preventing the surfers to make any transaction on his website. However the subscriptions and the installment payment won’t be concerned. It will be the merchant decision to cancel the subscriptions in the "subscription" section of his administrative office.
