Our systems are very easy to use. We provide training in person, over the phone, and via webinars. We ensure your staff is fully trained and confident in accepting electronic payments.
HOW MUCH DOES THIS SERVICE COST?
This is dependent upon the service chosen.For a convenience fee model, all fees are paid via the convenience fee charged to constituents who use the service. The cost of accepting payment cards and electronic checks are paid by the people who benefit from the service – not the taxpayers as a whole. For standard merchant models, the agency would absorb the interchange discount and other miscellaneous fees. This works best in specific agencies, such as the public library, Land Fills, Park and Rec but all agencies can be the convenience fee model.
HOW DO CONSTITUENTS MAKE PAYMENTS?
Constituents make their payments at your counter, online and by mobile app. Most payments can be made 24/7/365 which helps to eliminate lines at your counters. Depending on your application, PayGOV also provides a service to accept recurring payments, such as the payment of a monthly utility bill.
WHICH TYPES OF PAYMENT CARDS DO YOU ACCEPT?
Depending on the application, we accept all credit and debit cards. In certain instances, VISA branded cards are not accepted when acceptance would be in violation of their rules and regulations.
