Create a Payment page


If your event will be offering products for sale and you need to collect payment on the website, then you will need to include a Payment page in your packet.

To add a Payment page to an already established packet:

(Starting a new packet? Click here for help.)

  • Under PACKET SETTINGS, select Packets, then select the Edit button next to the packet you wish to modify. 
  • Click the  [+ new packet page] button, select Payment from the drop down menu.
  • Press Next.
  • Complete this page. (Explanations for each field are located in the table below.)
  • Press Save when you are done.

 

Below is an example of the Admin side when adding a Payment page: (Please note the numbers on both images and the table as they will show the correlation between the front and back side of the site).

1 Allow pament by PayPal Your organization must have a PayPal account in order to choose this option. Selecting this option allows your user to pay using any major credit card, even if they don't have a PayPal account. In order to allow payment by PayPal, you must first establish a PayPal account, and you have to specify the email address of that PayPal account on the Basic Settings page. More on this.
2 Allow payment by check Choosing this option means that parents will write a check to your organization, and send it in using your regular procedures.

TIP: Usually the Payment page is the last page in your packet.  So you may need to change the order of the pages accordingly depending on the order in which you created your pages.

 

Pass Paypal transaction fee to user:

When you use Paypal for online payment, paypal will charge you transaction fee (As of 2023 for non profit it is 1.99% + $0.49). You can choose to optionally pass this fee to user. In Fee(%) for online payment set it to 1.99%, and in Fee ($) set to $0.49, the transaction fee is calculated as (TotalPrice  + 0.49) / ((1 - 0.0199) - TotalPrice so you get TotalPrice as net proceed.

There are now 3 options for passing the fee.

  1. always charge the transaction fee to user. User don't see an option, this is default.
  2. allow user to de-select the fee, default checked.
  3. allow user to select the fee, default not checked.
