Setting Up Member Payment Details
Member Payments: Setting Up Member Payment Details
You can configure your organisation's set up in Member Wizard to reflect the means of payment for membership fees. These details are used both when sending out Membership Invoices by means of including a link in the accompanying email to pay by Direct Deposit or Credit / Debit Card and also when a new member joins from the link on your website - see Settings/ New Member Application.
In order to provide your members with the details on how to access these payment methods you need to firstly include them in Settings, Member Payment Details.
Member Payment Options
There are two ways to accept payment through emailed Membership Invoices and Member Online Applications: Credit Card or Direct Deposit
The process to register for a Stripe Account to accept payment by Credit / Debit Card is part of the Member Wizard setup process outlined below. If your organisation is in PNG you will need to connect to the Kina Bank. See below for instructions.
Accepting Donations
You can also check the Enable Donations box on either of the 2 payment options if you wish there to be an option for members to include a donation with their membership payment. The facility to accept donations when paying for membership is only available when members pay via the Member Portal.
You can select which Account Category your Donations will be credited to or use the default existing Donations account category automatically selected by Member Wizard.
Setting up Member Payment Options
1. Credit / Debit Card (not PNG clients).
Configuring this option will permit members to pay Reminders and also Member Online Applications using their Credit / Debit Card. Member Wizard uses independent banking system Stripe to provide this facility. Member Wizard does not store or even collect Credit / Debit Card details.
To setup your organisation to use Stripe check the box marked Allow Credit / Debit Card on the Credit / Debit Card screen. By default the option for your members to pay the Stripe costs for this is checked but if you wish your organisation to bear the charge then uncheck this box. Currently the fees for using Stripe is 1.70% plus 30 cents per transaction for domestic Credit / Debit Cards and 3.5% plus 30 cents per transaction for international cards. Member Wizard also charges a fee of .5%.
When ready click the Connect with Stripe button and fill out the information required on the following screen. Once accepted and confirmed by Stripe you will be able to accept online Credit / Debit Card payments. These payments will be automatically credited by Stripe into the bank account you nominate during the set up process.
Before you start the Stripe connection process be sure you have read the help article Setting up and Connecting to Stripe
2. Direct Deposit
Click the Allow Direct Deposit box then provide your BSB, Account number and Account Name for your organisation's bank account. Once again, you can check the Enable Donations box if you wish an option to donate to your organisation appears on your emailed Membership Invoices.
3. Credit/Debit card payments in PNG
As PNG does not use Stripe we have formed an alliance with the Kina Bank who have offered a payment gateway for all credit/debit cards. If you wish to use this service please contact Brian Riches at sales@memberwizard.com.pg . Brian is our agent in PNG. You will need to set up a transaction account with Kina Bank to receive the funds (if you do not already have one) and funds can then be transferred to your regular transaction bank account. Your members will not require a Kina Bank Card as any card is acceptable. You will need to provide Member Wizard with your Kina Bank Merchant ID to set up this service for you. You will also be able to accept over the counter payments using credit/debit card once this facility is enabled.
