While it is possible to list your programs online and allow people to enroll via the "Pay In Person" option, or only accept enquires for space hire, in a lot of cases it is much more convenient and time efficient for everyone if people can just pay online.
In order to take online payments you need to connect a merchant to your Clevero system.
For the Neighbourhood House Solution, the available merchant (payment provider) is called Pin Payments. You can learn more about them and their rates here.
Let's delve into the process of setting up Pin Payments for your solution.
The first step is to create an account with Pin Payments.
To allow us to properly connect your system to your Pin Payments account you should complete this process via the Clevero signup page:
IMPORTANT: Follow this link to sign up: https://pinpayments.com/get-started/clevero
You will need to provide some additional identification information to Pin Payments to complete this process. They will guide you.
The next step is to generate your Secret Key and Publishable Key in your Pin Payments account
To do this:
1. Go to Account > API Keys in the Pin Payments admin panel
2. Click "Create new Secret Key"
3. Click "Create a new Publishable Key"
This will generate the two keys (basically just a series of characters) and populate the field above each button. We will use these keys at the next step.
NOTE: If you have previously generated keys, there is no need to create new ones every time, you can just use the ones you have already created.
The next step is to add these keys into Clevero so your enrolment app can use them.
To do this, navigate to Settings > System Settings > Standard Connectors
Then within the General tab you will find Pin Payments
Set the following fields:
Tick the checkbox "Use Pin payments"
Copy the Publishable Key and Secret Key that you generated in Pin Payments in step 2 above, in their matching fields
If you would like to charge the payer any surcharges that Pin Payments charges you to process the transaction, tick the checkbox "Customer Pays Surcharge"
This will display an additional field "Surcharge Config" where you will paste the following code:
{
"domestic": {
"percent": 1.75,
"constantAmount": 0.3
},
"international": {
"percent": 2.9,
"constantAmount": 0.3
}
}
IMPORTANT NOTES
This Surcharge Config defines the amount additional you will charge the payer.
So in the example above, for domestic cards the payer will be charged per transaction 1.75% of the total amount and flat fee of AUD$0.30 on top of the price you set. Likewise, for international cards 2.9% and AUD$0.30
You may wish to change these amounts to suit your process or changes in Pin Payments fees, you can do so by simply updating the values.
The surcharge amounts will be shown to the user as part of the checkout process
4. Finally, save the changes to complete the process
👍Pin Payments is now setup!
