Flex Payments

The Flex Payment process allows the admin to in a sense load up an end users account with a preset credit to be paid out of a student or staff account. This amount will appear as a credit on the user's account. 




Configuring a Lot For Flex Payments

To begin create a Flex Payment Lot and added 10 permits to it (FLX001...FLX010)

To do so first go to Lot Administration and select Pricing & Lot Admin.

Name the lot Flex Payment Lot or something you consider appropriate.
Set the cost at $0.00
Set the Usertype to the users who will be using Flex Payments. In our example we are using Full Time Staff.

Note: the lot does not have to be set to visible to users as this functionality will only be used on the Admin Protal


Set the Sales Window to Yearly

Adding Flex Permits to the Lot
