One Time Payments
A one time payment is a one-off, non-recurring payment option where the third party payment processing is authorized to collect a payment from a utility customer’s credit card or bank account.
One time payments can be immediate or scheduled:
• Immediate one-time payments are processed on the same date that the payment is created/captured in the third party payment processing system.
• Scheduled one-time payments are processed at a future date that the customer designates.
The base product provides an inbound web service C1-ThirdPartyOneTimePayNotification that receives one time payment information from the third party payment processor, and, based on the required action, creates/updates the payment in the system. This web service supports the following functions:
• Creating an immediate or scheduled one time payment.
• Updating a scheduled one time payment
• Processing a scheduled one time payment
• Canceling a processed one time payment
The following sections describe these actions.
