 AXWare Systems Online Payment Processing (OLP)

Using Online Payments, you can significantly streamline your events by reducing or eliminating your registration work load at the event.  There are 2 ways to process online payments for registrations and membership dues.

  • AXWare Systems Gateway: Allow your users to pay for their registrations online, and directly from our site. A nominal processing fee of 4% is automatically used to cover the cost of all Credit Card Transactions and Pay Out Processing.   Pay Outs are disbursement of the funds to the configured contact.

    Only credit card transactions are provided at this time and processed using Stripe.com - a solution that is secure PCI compliant.  Most major credit cards are accepted and we do not store any Credit Card information whatsoever for obvious security reasons. 

    Payouts - checks will be sent to a designated contact when ever necessary. Normally the Payout is processed a few days after each respective event. Different time lines may be requested (every 2 weeks or 1 once per month).  Detailed Payout Invoices are provided and accessible by the Administrators of your Club.
     

  • PayPal, either Website Payments Standard or Express Checkout. The Website Payments Standard provides transaction information about each item purchased, while Express provides for a lump sum total.  All fees will be rendered by PayPal.

Online Payments can be configured for your Online Registration processes using two modes.  Required Online Payments or voluntary Online Payments. 

  • Forced Online Payments: - this method requires that everybody registering or paying for their membership dues must use the Online Payment processing.
  • Optional Online Payments:  - this method allows those that want to pay online to do so, but also permits registration onsite.

OLP Transactions (minus the CC details) are provided for review as necessary.

Registration Refunds, Cancellations

Your Club is responsible for any disputes, refunds, cancellations or any other related issues.  Efforts should be made by your Club to provide a clear understanding of any refund policies so that no user is left questioning the process.

To help provide a mechanism to manage refunds and cancellations, we have provided a pseudo 'Bank' process that allows Administrators to award credits and or balances to any user. The Bank entries will be used automatically on subsequent registrations.  This is meant to help eliminate or alleviate the needs for monetary exchanges between the Club and it's members.
