Pay Now
You must be using Fred Office Plus version 5.4 or later to use this feature.
When integrated with a compatible third-party payment gateway provider, a Pay Now button can be enabled on customer account statements.
When a customer receives their emailed statement and presses this button, it launches a secure online payment page where the customer can enter their credit card details and process the payment. Once the payment has been processed by the bank, it will automatically be deducted from the customer's account balance within Fred Office Plus.
Currently the Pay Now feature is only available through Ezidebit. For further information contact Ezidebit on 1300 763 256 or alternatively complete this expression of interest form to get started with Ezidebit.
