Setting up Quick Pay/Guest Payments

Introduction

Guest Payments allow users to quickly lookup and appeal and/or pay their ticket without having to create an account or log in to an existing account. This article contains all of the information related to the functionality of Guest Payments and its object. 

The button to allow users to lookup their tickets and pay for them will appear on the login screen/home page:

This button will only appear if you are using a payment provider that supports Guest Payments and you have enabled the setting at least one or more payment types in your system. This is done under System Configuration -> Payments -> Setup Payment Types:

Create or edit a payment type, click the settings tab and check the "Enable for Guest Payments" box:

Appeal or Pay a Ticket - Input 

The full ticket number including the PIN must be entered here, if you attempt to search for the ticket without the PIN, you will not find any results.
