The Online Payment Type is the default payment type used in any online payment in which no other payment type has been specified. If an Accounting Package has not been set up, this is the default payment type.
When a member logs in to the Members Only section on your website to pay an invoice, an email receipt can be sent to them automatically, indicating the item(s) they purchased, the payment method, and the total. This can be configured in the Admin section.
- Go to Admin > Global Settings > Online Payment Settings.
- At the bottom of the page, check the box "Enable Credit Card Fees in Member Portal."
Enabling credit card fees requires your organization to comply with all applicable laws. MC Trade is not liable for any legal or financial outcomes. Please review all regulations before proceeding. - To enable automatic receipts, check the "Enable Automatic Receipts for all Website Payments" checkbox. If this box is not checked, NO receipt will be sent.
- Enter the email address and name the receipts will be sent to the members from. Keep in mind that if they "Reply" to the receipt, this email address will be used.
- Enter the subject line to be displayed on the emailed receipt. This will be the same for all receipts sent, regardless of the type of invoice being paid.
- The receipt will automatically include the billing contact information, association name, the date, and invoice/payment info. To add custom text to the receipt, enter it in the "Text to display on the receipt" box. This will appear on the receipt above the invoice/payment info.
- Select Save.
Below is a sample receipt, which will be sent to the email address entered when entering payment online. This receipt will also be used when the "Send Receipt" feature is used on a payment in the database.
Receipts will be sent to the logged-in payer and the first available default recipient for the account, such as the Main Contact for the profile:
The hierarchy of emails that will receive the payment receipt is: Logged in Profile > communicateWithProfileId on Invoice > Billing Contact > Main Contact > Invoice Profile
The logged in user will always receive a confirmation email, as well as the following email available on the hierarchy. If there is no logged in user, the email will go to the following available email on the chain. If the logged in user is also the following available email on the hierarchy, only one email will be sent.
