General Settings

Before you begin to accept and process payments, you will first need to set up the general payment settings.

Under the General Settings, you need to indicate how you want to accept payments based on your business needs. You can choose to charge your customers a convenience fee and apply payment verification settings to validate a customer's credit card or bank account information instantly. You can also allow your customers to schedule payments and set your preferred means of communication.

Before you can configure any system payment settings, you need to add the Payment Gteway(s); without the gateway, you cannot switch the System Payments toggle to ON. Once the System Payments feature is enabled, you can customize the general settings as needed.

PAYMENT VERIFICATION

DCDial instantly validates customer bank account or credit card information to prevent risk across all your payment channels. Payment verification reduces potential fraud and higher return rates right at the start.

  • Billing Address
Enable this option to show the billing address fields for credit card payments. Check the "Mandatory" box to make the billing information fields required when making a one-time payment or scheduling recurring payments.
  • Verify Bank Account
When enabled, allows the system to authenticate bank account ownership and verify real-time account balances by requiring customers to connect their checking or savings accounts using bank credentials before making a bank transfer payment.
  • Reconnect Notification
Enable to send a customer an automatic notification if a customer's bank credentials have changed and can no longer be authenticated, an automatic notice can be sent to the customer requesting that their credentials be updated if this option is enabled. When enabled, an automatic notice will be sent to the customer requesting them to update their information.
  • Allow Manual ACH
Enable this option to allow customers to enter their bank account and routing number manually without having to connect their account using their login credentials. If both "Verify Bank Account" and "Allow Manual ACH" is enabled, an "Add manual account" link will appear under the payment method at the payment details step.
