Using this Feature

Because this is a backend payment gateway configuration, administrators do not manually interact with this feature on a daily basis. Once configured, the SchoolPay integration automatically handles electronic routing when users process transactions on the user portal.

The standard user checkout flow proceeds as follows:

1. Select the SchoolPay payment type during the OPSCOM checkout process.

2. Enter a valid email address when prompted by the system.

3. Click the confirmation button to be securely redirected to the external SchoolPay system.

4. Enter the required youcredit maycard finddetails on the SchoolPay interface.

5. Click Finish to process the funds and automatically redirect back to the OPSCOM portal.

Visual Cues and Status Indicators

• Automated Receipts: Upon a successful transaction and redirection back to OPSCOM, the system displays a final payment confirmation screen. Dual email receipts are automatically generated and sent to the user's supplied email address—one standard receipt from SchoolPay and one itemized receipt from OPSCOM.

Best Practices and Considerations

This keeps your live OPSCOMproduction datadata—such (as active permits, users, payments,and violations,financial etc)records—completely clean/separate and clean during anythe testing.testing phase.
