Pay Now Control Overview

Pay Now is an alternative to the full Checkout control that can be enabled for some or all products. Pay Now takes users through a simplified, single step checkout process, whereas the Checkout control is a three-step process. You can incorporate it into an existing order workflow (e.g., Member Join or Meeting Registration) by adding it as the last step in the workflow process. It can also be used to pay existing orders (e.g., placing this control on the Pay Open Balances page on the My Account page, which would redirect web users to the Pay Now page).

If the web user is logged in and the product detail control has been configured to enable pay now, the Pay Now button will display on the Product Detail page. However, the web user does NOT have to be logged in in order for the Donate Now button to display on the online donation control.

For more information on the web settings for this control, please see Configuring the Web Settings for the Pay Now Control.

Pay for Additional Items in Cart

The URL that opens when the web user clicks this link is defined in the web settings of the Pay Now control. For more information, please see Configuring the Web Settings for the Pay Now Control.

Removing Products that are No Longer Available

If your web user has products in his order that are no longer available, it will display as highlighted below. The web user can decide to back order this product or remove it from his/her order.

Selecting a Billing and Shipping Address

The web user's primary address defaults to the billing and shipping address on the order. If necessary, the web user can select a different existing address to be used as the billing and/or shipping address or he/she can add a new address. If the web user clicks Use a saved address, a list of available addresses displays, as shown below.



If the web user click Add new address, the following form displays:

Select employer associated with order

As of 7.6.0, if the CUS MULTIPLE_CONCURRENT_EMPLOYERS application parameter is set to "Y" and the order master ship-to customer has more than one current employment relationship, the Employer Information section displays, as shown below. The customer's primary employer will be selected by default, but he/she can select a different employer to associate with the order. This is used when engagement scores for companies includes employee points rolled up to the employer company. However, this information can also be used for other reporting purposes as this data is stored in the EMPLOYER_MASTER_CUSTOMER_ID and EMPLOYER_SUB_CUSTOMER_ID columns in the Order_Master table. For more information, please see Changing the Employer on an Order.

Selecting a Shipping Preference

From the Select Shipping Preference drop-down, the web user can select his/her shipping method, as highlighted below.

Please note that the Display Shipping Options at Pay Now checkbox on the eBusiness Control screen in Product Maintenance must be checked in order for the Pay Now control to display shipping options. For more information, please see Configuring Back Office Settings for the Pay Now Control.

Applying a Coupon or Promo Code

Web users have the option to applying a coupon or promo code to their order. As of 7.5.2, you can define a market code and/or coupon code that qualifies the web user for free shipping. For more information on coupons and promo codes, please see Configuring Back Office Settings for the Pay Now Control.

 

If the web user applies a coupon or promo code that was not accepted, the page displays, as shown below. Please note that this message is configurable in the web settings for this control.

If the web user applies BOTH a free shipping coupon AND a free shipping market code to his/her order, if he/she removes the market code, the system will remove the free shipping even though the coupon is still applicable. This is a known issue. The web user must remove the coupon and re-add it in order for the free shipping to be applied.

Selecting a Saved Credit Card for Payment

As of 7.5.2, if the checkout control has been configured to allow saved credit cards (via Allow Saved Credit Cards? checkbox in web settings), the "Select a Saved Credit Card" section will display in the Payment step of the checkout process. From here, web users can update the following information on an existing credit card is:

·            Name on Card

·            Expiration Date

·            Security Code

Saved credit cards can NOT be removed or replaced from the checkout process. If necessary, web users can navigate to the Saved Credit Cards control in the profile to do so.

Adding a New Card for Payment

Web users have the option to Add a New Card from this step in the checkout process, as shown below.

If the web user checks the Save this Credit Card Information? checkbox, the credit card will display in the Saved Credit Cards control.

Paying by eCheck

eChecks require US Dollars. If your organization is using multi-currency, eChecks should NOT be used for portals not using US Dollars as the base currency.

As of 7.5.0, if the open E-commerce batch includes an e-Check (i.e., the eCheck checkbox is checked on the Receipt Types and Cash Accounts screen in Organizational Unit Maintenance) receipt type, the Pay by eCheck option displays. Please note that as of 7.6.0, this section will look differently depending on the payment handler defined for the eCheck receipt type in the E-commerce batch, as Vantiv eCheck processing is now supported. For more information, please see Using eChecks in Personify360.

 

If the web user clicks What's this from the Bank Routing Number or Bank Account Number fields, the ECheck Information window displays, as shown below.

Pay by PayPal

As of 7.6.1, if the open E-commerce batch includes a PayPal (i.e., the PayPal checkbox is checked on the Receipt Types and Cash Accounts screen in Organizational Unit Maintenance) receipt type, the Pay with PayPal option displays, as shown below.

 

Please note that PayPal will not be presented to the web user as an available payment method if any of the following conditions exist:

 

When the web user opts to make a payment by PayPal, the system will present the web user with a PayPal login screen so the web user can enter their PayPal username and password. When the web user then clicks “Continue” on the PayPal screen, the system will return the web user to the organization’s payment page and PayPal will return the following information:

 

With this information, the system then gets an authorization for the payment from the payment handler, which is stored in Ccp_Req_Ans in a PRE-SALE or PRE-AUTH record along with the PayPal information. CCP610 will then settle the PRE-SALE authorization.

Processing the Order

When the web user clicks Complete Order, the order is processed and he/she is taken to the Thank You page. See the Order Summary Control for more information on how to configure this control.
