Processing Scheduled One Time Payments

When it is time to process a scheduled one time payment, the third party payment processing will process the payment as it does an immediate one time payment. However, in this case, it will call the C1-ThirdPartyOneTimePayNotification inbound web service with a Process action, passing in the pending one time payment’s Service Task ID and the payment details.

Note: Because bank account numbers and credit card numbers are captured outside of the system, the full account numbers are not sent. In most cases, only a partial value is sent, e.g. last four digits.
The inbound web service processes the one time payment as follows:

  • The system transitions the existing Third Party One Time Payment Task so that it proceeds to create a frozen payment event.

  • The payment date/time sent in by the third party payment processor is stored as a characteristic on the payment tender using the Processing Date/Time Characteristic Type in the Third Party One Time Payment Processing Integration master configuration. This is to capture the actual date/time when the payment was processed. This information is used in tender control processing.

  • A reference to the Third Party One Time Payment Task’s Service Task ID is stored as a characteristic on the payment tender using the Processing Reference Characteristic Type in the Third Party One Time Payment Processing Integration master configuration. This helps identify that the payment event/tender was created from third party payment processing.

  • The Payment Event ID is sent back to the third party payment processing system so that it has a way to identify the payment should there be a need to cancel the payment in the future.

Note: To prevent the creation of duplicate payments when the web service times out and the third party payment processing retries the web service call:

  • The system checks if a frozen payment was already created from a previous web service call.

  • The account is locked during payment event creation.
