Background
When setting up an registration campaign, you may include a "Pay Now" link from an online credit card processor such as PayPal, Stripe, PaySimple, or other providers. As parents complete your online application, they will be prompted to complete their payment on the final page of the application.
Setting up a payment Link
Link types
The payment link in your application can be configured with two different types of links:
- URL for full page: You may direct applicants to an existing web page with a distinct URL, such as payment page your existing website. When specified this way, a new browser tab will be opened allowing people to see the designated page where a payment can be made.
- Embed code or script: Many payment processors allow creation of a "widget" that can be embedded into the application. Often the widget can be configured with options such as a set or variable fee amount, custom button text & styles, and custom prompts/fields for the applicant to complete.
Before proceeding to the registrations setup, be sure you have a URL for your payment page, or an Embed script from your payment processor.
