Payment Methods
Card Payments
Card payments are the most preferred methods of payments for customers.
Direct Debits
A direct debit enables the initiator, once authorised by the customer, to take payments from your nominated bank account electronically. Direct debits are typically used for recurring payments, such as credit card and utility bills, the payment amounts vary from one payment to another.
Alternative Payment Methods
Billing Types
Recurring Payment
Recurring billing occurs when a facility automatically deducts a customer’s payment on a pre-arranged schedule. These payments are processed from credit cards, debit cards or direct debit from the customer’s bank account.
Realtime Payment
Real-time payments enable businesses and consumers to make and receive interbank or account-to-account payments in real-time.
Casual Payment
Casual payment allows businesses to accept payment without having the customer registered with them. Casual payments are offered by Fitness clubs that offer casual gym visits. Debitsuccess debits a customer's account on behalf of a facility, based on a recurring (weekly, fortnightly, monthly, bi-monthly, or quarterly) payment schedule. Payments will continue to be processed based on the schedule until the schedule ends, the account is closed or we have collected the amount owing for the contract (for a fixed term account).
Realtime Payment
A facility may request Debitsuccess to process a real-time payment for a customer on their behalf at any time. The payment will be attempted immediately and will return a response that says whether it was successful or not. A real-time payment initiated by the facility will be processed against the customer’s credit card, but Debitsuccess can also accept real-time bank payments for overdue amounts.
A real-time payment can be allocated to the customer's balance or it can be loaded along with a separate charge so that it does not affect the accounts balance.
Casual Payment
A casual payment is a real-time payment but where the payment is linked to the facility and not associated with a customer account.
