Online Payments
With Jayhawk's Online Billpay module you can offer your customers the convenience of making their payment online, and at any time. Online Billpay modules also include the ability to allow you to accept phone-in and walk-in credit/debit card payments or accept recurring payments by debit, credit, or ACH. Jayhawk has partnered with Pace Payment Systems and PSN to provide you with a wide range of payment processing options. Online Billpay is available for billing and court, so your customers can make their payments online for all charges in Jayhawk's Billing and/or Court software. We give you the opportunity to select your payment processing vendor based on your organization's needs. Please see the bottom of this page for more information on our payment processing vendors.
EMV Compliance
All of these vendors are EMV compliant, per standards recently enforced, for a more secure method of credit/debit card processing. Please read our news post about EMV compliance and our payment processing vendors if you are not already familiar with the specifics of EMV compliance.
Online Payments Features
Balance information is available for online viewing: Once a customer successfully logs into the online bill info page, they will see their balance due for their account(s) or case as well as a button which takes them to the payment page.
Generate a link for your customers to pay online using the website payment page: This link can be given directly to your customer or put on your organization's website (we have created a custom-color selection of buttons for payment options if you host your website with Jayhawk).
The payment page: Can display different information (e.g. balance only or full information including usage and payment history) according to which vendor you choose.
A variety of payment types are accepted: Customers can use a credit card, debit card, or checking/savings account to pay any amount they wish towards their balance. The website will then process the payment received.*
*Payments may take up to 3 business days to process. As a precaution, the due date for online payments should be set to at least 3 days prior to the application of late charges to allow sufficient time to process the payments.
