Using Pay Later When Configuring Merchant Accounts

When configuring your merchant account in Cadmium Payments, you have the option to enable pay later. This option should be used if you plan to let users submit payment at a later date using a different method (wire transfer, check, etc.).

IMPORTANT NOTE

Enabling pay later when configuring a merchant account is a global setting for that merchant account and will apply wherever that merchant account is used. If you intend to enable pay later in one Eventscribe product but not another, you will have to create two different merchant accounts – one with the pay later option enabled and one with the pay later option disabled.

CADMIUM RECOMMENDS

It is important to use informative labels when configuring your merchant accounts to ensure you select the correct processor from the dropdown menu within the Eventscribe product. Cadmium recommends using a label that clearly identifies the merchant account as using pay later. For example, use the label “PAY LATER - BluePay Processor”.

Pay later can be enabled while you are configuring a new merchant account or while you are editing an existing merchant account. To enable pay later, follow these steps:

Under the section labeled ‘Payment Methods’ you will see a checkbox option titled ‘Enable Pay Later.’ Select this check box to enable this functionality.
Next, select Submit.

If you are allowing users to pay via check, include information about who to make a check out to and where to mail it.

NOTE

If you enable the ‘pay later’ option for a merchant account, those transactions WILL NOT display in the Cadmium Payments transaction list.
