There are 3 methods to receive payments for Round Robin
charges after the Round Robin has completed:
1- After your Round Robin selection period ends, you can compute
reciprocation and produce your statements and bill participants by
sending them paper or e-mailed statements; they can then pay you by
check or credit card (if you accept credit cards.)
2- If you have an existing web page to accept credit/debit cards
for other types of charges, you can have the Online Round Robin web
site link your members to your existing payment web site where they
can pay their Round Robin charges. Please contact Compugene Software to have this link created.
3- You can use our Compugene Software debit/credit card interface
to direct your members to a web site where they can pay for their
Round Robin charges using the Compugene Software merchant account.
Additional fees may be incurred with this technique, so please
contact Compugene Software for further details.
If you allow Reciprocation
Remember that if you enabled reciprocity in the Customize Display Options function and you charge extra for
reciprocal selections (which are computed after the Round Robin closes), final charges may not be determined until
the Round Robin has completed (that is, all member selections have been
made) and you have then computed your reciprocal charges using the
Perform Reciprocation function.
At that point, you have two options. You can:
1- Allow members to pay online for their charges prior to
computing reciprocation (these charges will not include any additional reciprocation charges), then close the site for selection and payment; then
perform reciprocal calculations and then bill members by statement for any additional
reciprocal charges that they may incur, or you can
2- Close the Round Robin for accepting selections, perform the
reciprocation calculations but keep the site open to accept
payments (but allow no additional selections); members can then link to the site
to pay their total or remaining charges. This of course is useful only if you have an online payment system in place (see methods 2 and 3 at
the top of this page).
