Process Electronic Payment Screen

Once electronic payment has been established, Aspire makes the processing of electronic payments available in the following locations in Aspire for users having the Process Electronic Payments permission:

1. Adds a new column, Process Electronic Payments, to the Display tab of the Invoices search list. This column in the search list contains a Process Electronic Payments  icon^a for each invoice for which the billing contact has payment methods defined. The icons displayed in this manner are only enabled for users having the Process Electronic Payments permission.
2. Process Electronic Payment option is added to the Actions menu on the Invoices Search List screen.
3. Process Electronic Payment option is added to the Actions menu on the Invoice screen.

From any of the above locations Aspire displays the Process Electronic Payment screen. The user can modify the payment amount^a as agreed with the customer. When the payment amount changes, Aspire recalculates the convenience fee^b. If the payment is an ACH payment, the value is read-only and cannot be updated by the user.

When the user clicks the Process  icon, Aspire initiates payment on the selected invoice using the default payment method. The actual processing of the payment with the payment processing company takes place in the background as indicated by the message (shown at right) displayed when the icon is selected. Payments are processed approximately every ten minutes so that multiple payments made during that time can be processed together. Rejected payment notifications are provided as Alerts when processing completes.
