The gateway is what connects ShulCloud to a credit card processor or bank for ACH payments. We have built in to ShulCloud an integrated payment gateway. Once you have the gateway, go to the Admin Menu > My Lists, and select Gateways from the dropdown box (to the right of “Edit my”).
General Info
- Display Name – This is the name people will see when choosing the gateway and is the name used on the “Online Payments” page.
- Mode – This is to allow or limit different payment methods. “Credit Card/ECheck” allows this gateway to be used for both credit card and ACH transactions.
- Use for these Charge Types – The charge types that will use this gateway. Default is set to “All Types” and will automatically updated if you add new charge types. If you manually select charge types from the dropdown box you will need to add new charge types as you create them.
- Payment Type – The payment type for any payment using this gateway.
- Public payments authorize only – Selecting “Yes” will add an extra layer of security for payments made by people who are not logged in. This will add a Captcha to the payment page, so it requires a human to enter a code to process the payment. In addition, the payment must be approved by an admin before it’s actually processed. If you see or suspect a fraudulent payment, you can reject it and that card won’t be charged and the payment won’t show up on the site.
- Default Gateway – Set to “Yes” so that all new payments are processed through this gateway.
