Print charging in education with payment gateways
PaperCut makes it easy to set up how users pay for the services they use, including printing and copying. So if they’re running low on funds, they can add money with a payment platform they’re familiar with. Or they can choose a one-off amount, or set automatic top-ups so they’re never out of credit.
Sure they could use pre-paid top-up cards and vouchers, however your savvy students and guests will appreciate simpler ways to get the job done without having to talk to humans.
You can do this because PaperCut has lots of 3rd Party integrations. You can check out the full list of 3rd Party integrations.
Think you could take advantage of one of these scenarios for your payments?
- Online payment by anyone using their preferred payment, including credit card or bank account
- Integration with payment providers such as PayPal, Authorize.Net, RBS WorldPay, or CyberSource
Student fees management systems
A number of leading higher education organizations allow students to transfer small amounts of credit into their print account, with these fees being reconciled at the end of a term or semester against their fees or loan. You can confiure this to automatically debit the student management records in an external database or student management system.
