Interfacing Automatic Payments To A Third Party

For customers who are enrolled to automatically pay bills through a third party payment processing system, existing auto pay processing that occurs during bill completion applies. Refer to How And When Are Automatic Payments Created? for more details.

The difference with automatic payment processing via third party payment processing system is that the auto pay staging records are not sent directly to the financial institution. Since the routing is different, a third party payment processing system is associated with a distinct Auto Pay Source and Auto Pay Route Type. Refer to Define Auto Pay Sources and Auto Pay Route Types for more details on this configuration.

Third party automatic payment transactions are extracted using the Third Party Auto Pay Extract (C1–TAPEX) batch process. Refer to Downloading Automatic Payments and Interfacing Them To The GL for details on how this batch process fits into the auto pay batch process flows.
