Payment Setup Overview

Agencies typically charge fees for services such as performing inspections and granting permits.

There are three ways you can set up your agency to accept payments:

1. Integrate with Fusion Payments. This enables you to process online credit card payments and electronic checks through supported payment gateways.

2. Integrate with Third-Party Payment providers. This enables you to set up your own Payment Gateways to integrate with OPAL REST APIs.

3. Record cash, checks, offline, and trust account payments in OPAL.

You can use any combination of these payment options.

To set up your application to accept payments for these fees you must:

• Enable delivered payment gateways.

  See Managing Payment Gateways.

• Set up payment adapters.

  See Setting Up Payment Adapters.

• Set up payment options at the agency and department level.

  See Setting Up Agency Payment Options and Setting Up Department Payment Options.

Note:

For payments made using credit cards, additional setup is required. For detailed instructions on this setup, see Oracle Permitting and Licensing: Financial Integrations.

For third-party payments, additional setup is required. For more information, see Setting Up Third-Party Payments.
