Payment gateway configuration

A payment gateway provides a means of processing payments for items sold, such as registrations and products, and allows invoices to be paid online.

Setup registration gateways

       Bright Idea:

Before you begin to set up Payment Gateways for registration payments, you must have your account configured for the gateway you wish to use. This is a separate process from having your account configured for Invoicing. Contact Client Services to start this process.

 

 

Prior to being able to sell items and registrations using Event Manager you will be required to configure your payment gateway. Event Manager supports receiving payments through a number of different vendors, including MySchoolBucks, PayPal, SchoolPay, Stripe, NIC, TrustCommerce, PayFlow Pro, Authorize.Net, and Tempus.

  2. Click on the Payment Gateway Configuration tile under Global Administration. *Note: If you have already set up your Invoice Registration Gateway for MySchoolBucks, PayPal, SchoolPay or Stripe, you do not need to follow the instructions below.
