PREPARING TO USE PAYMENTS ON YOUR SITE

Once this option has been enabled for you by RizePoint, you can add Payment tasks to your programs, which allow you to collect payments from locations.

Setting Up a PayPal Account

The first step is to create a PayPal business account. Go to the PayPal website and follow their instructions to setup your business account.

Once you've created your account, there are a few account configuration settings that are required:

1. Log into your PayPal business account.
2. On the MY ACCOUNT tab, click on the PROFILE link.
   
   
3. From the Profile drop-down list, select the WEBSITE PAYMENT PREFERENCES option.
4. There are two options that must be turned off:
   • In the AUTO RETURN FOR WEBSITE PAYMENTS section at the top of the page, click the OFF button.
     
     
   • In the PAYMENT DATA TRANSFER (OPTIONAL) section at the bottom of the page, click the OFF button.
     
     

That completes the required setup on the PayPal website.

Configuring the Application

Once you've created and configured the PayPal account, you'll need to provide the PayPal email address associated with your account:

1. As a user with IMPLEMENTATION CONFIGURATION permission, go to System > System Setup > Implementation Configuration.
   
   
2. Click the NEXT button twice to advance to the PROMPTS page of the Implementation Configuration settings. (Note that clicking the NEXT button once advances you to the Labels page; clicking it again advances to the Prompts page.)
   
   
3. Scroll down to the bottom and locate the PAYPAL ACCOUNT EMAIL ADDRESS TO DEPOSIT PAYMENTS INTO option. It is located close to the bottom of the page.
   
   
4. Enter the email address associated with your PayPal business account into this field.
5. Click the SAVE button.

All program payments received will be deposited into the account associated with this email address.
