For additional information on how the consumer can setup recurring payments on the customer portal, review this help article consumer recurring payment process.

Data Set Up for Recurring Payments 

The following data must be provided to Concepts2Code in order to begin accepting recurring payments on your customer portal.

Your consumer data, has options for each consumer which include the following:

• AcceptRecurringCheckingPayment - True if recurring checking account (ACH) payments are allowed
• AcceptRecurringCreditCard - True if recurring credit card payments are allowed 
• AcceptRecurringDebitCard - True if recurring debit card payments are allowed

By default, when enabled all consumers will be able to make recurring payments. If you have business rules in which some accounts can and cannot accept recurring payments, please contact Concepts2Code before this is enabled.

Payment Processing Overview

Once you have enabled recurring payments, payments on the website will be accepted and made available to Import into your collection system to be added as Post Dates. Once they are in our system, you may modify them as you always do. The TakeWebPayments solutions can process any Post Dates that were originated in the system even if the dates or amounts have been modified after the fact. Post Date Payments may be made either by uploading a CSV file to the TWP Dashboard using the Payment Processing File method or automated using an SFTP account. 

Create Payment Processing File

1. Create a file with a unique naming convention such as "paymentstoprocess2021-8-19.csv".
2. The .csv file must contain the following fields. See example below.
3. Upload the .csv file to the FTP account created by Concepts2Code.

• token (use the Primary Token from the consumer's account, not the Gateway Token)
• amount (the amount to be paid on the account, no dollar signs)
• referencenumber (or account number)

A sample file is attached (see file at bottom of article). The file is shown here:
