Paying Bills in batch by using Stripe
| Apart from making manual payments with the Stripe card the card may be used to pay for unsettled Bills, in a recurring basis, without any manual interaction. This is done in a batch mode, given that the Stripe card is authorised for Recurring Payments. This is accomplished by configuring a recurring run that can identify unsettled Bills (using a selection of set criteria) that can be paid via a Stripe card. For each Bill a Stripe Payment Gateway Request is created and sent to Stripe which will in turn, accept or deny the request (displaying the appropriate success or error message) For more information view Using Stripe Payment Gateway Run

| Refunding Stripe cards | When a payment executed using a Stripe card is cancelled in CRM.COM, the card can be automatically refunded. In order to enable this functionality you need to configure the Payment Cancellation Types that will trigger automatic refunding in the Stripe Payment Gateway Provider. | ||||||||||||
Automatic Wallet Top up
| Wallets are mini accounts which primarily handle financials related to Rewards and Prepaid Subscriptions. Funds from the Wallets are deducted, usually when a Payment is made for a Prepaid Subscription, or when a Rewards Participant redeems his awards. A functionality is available to detect whether the balance of the Wallet has gone under a certain amount, and if so, the System will create a Payment Request to the Payment Gateway the customer has registered with, to automatically top up the Wallet. This is particularly helpful in cases where the customers make a Subscription with a recurring fee, and would like to automatically make a payment whenever required, so that their Subscription is never deactivated | ||||||||||||
Automatic Bill Payment
| Unsettled Bills can be directly paid by requests made to the Payment Gateway. In this way a Bill will always get handled before it is due, without customers worrying whether the payment has been made. This works like a Direct Debit requests, however in this case is electronically handled via a Payment Gateway. |
