You can make credit card payments in eBill Payment on systems using a hosted credit card implementation.

The Payment Cart displays the following steps for payments made using a credit card on systems using a hosted credit card implementation:

  1. Payment Cart

  2. Make Payment

  3. Payment Confirmation

  4. Payment Results

The Payment Cart and Make Payment steps are the same for the Credit Card payment method in both hosted credit card and traditional credit card systems. However, if you are using the Credit Card payment method in a traditional credit card implementation, you see added information in the Payment Confirmation steps, and the Payment Results step is different.

Compare to the steps for paying by credit card in a traditional credit card system here: Making Traditional Credit Card Payments (Classic).

Note: When the system detects an error in any step, the subsequent steps are locked until the error is fixed.

Use the Payment Cart page (AR_EBP_PAYCART_WZ1) to display and select invoices for payment.

Navigation:

Click the Add to Cart button that is located on pages displaying invoices or click the Payment Cart link from the Menu.

This page is the same for credit card payments in both the hosted and traditional models. See Payment Cart - Step 1 of 4 for the traditional credit card model.

Field or Control

Description

Payment Method

Select Credit Card from the available options.

The system uses the payment method that is defined on the My Preferences for eBill Payment page as the default value.

Invoices in the Cart

Customers can select the corresponding check box for the invoices they want to pay.

Field or Control

Payment Amount

The system uses the value in the Customer Balance field as the default for this field. However, the customer can use the PeopleSoft eBill Payment Short Pay feature by overriding this value with an amount that is less than the customer balance.

If Customers choose to short pay the invoice, they must select a short pay reason. You set up the short pay reasons on the Short Pay Reason page (SH_PAY_RSN_TBL). The system displays an error message and marks the payment line in error if a customer does not provide a short pay reason.

Note: Invoices with negative amounts can be added to the payment cart, but the total Payment Amount cannot be negative. An error message appears if the total Payment Amount for a currency in the cart is negative.

Currency

The payments are grouped by currency.

Important! Upon returning to the PeopleSoft application from the hosted credit card website, you must always click the Save button to save the payment data.

You may need to add a credit card profile in a hosted credit card system that creates a temporary profile before submitting an online credit card transaction. In this case, you must add a credit card profile if none exists in order to complete payment. If the hosted credit card system is set up to create temporary profiles after online credit card transactions, the system creates the temporary profile after a successful credit card transaction.

For more information, see Setting Up Credit Card Options and Groups.
