Type Name: The type name can be whatever you want it to be, though please note this will also be the name displayed to users when using payment checkout and selecting a payment method. You can reference the specific hosted payment provider such as SchoolPay or something more generic such as "Online Credit Card Payment", "Online payment", "Credit Card", etc. Really it's up to you and what you think makes most sense to your site users when making a payment, also might depend on what payment methods your SchoolPay account supports.

Enabled for User Types: Select the User Types you wish this new Payment Type to be visible to so they can select it during payment checkout. You can change these user types at any time

Enable for Guest Payments: See this wiki page for additional details related to Guest Payments, if you aren't using this feature leave the button unchecked.

Prompt Information: Only "Email Address" is supported with SchoolPay Hosted Payments at this time.

Credentials:

• Username: Obtained from SchoolPay.
• Password: Obtained from SchoolPay.
• Item ID: Obtained from SchoolPay.
• Production/Sandbox: Select whether you are using your SchoolPay Production/Live credentials or Sandbox/Testing credentials. Additionally, although not required you may find your OPS-COM preview space helpful for testing Sandbox/testing credentials, this way you can keep your production/live OPS-COM data (permits, users, payments, violations, etc) clean/separate during any testing.

Don't forget to save your new payment type by clicking the "Update Payment Type" button along the bottom of the page:
