By doing this, you are granted the flexibility of providing refunds as needed and you have the benefit of receiving processed funds quicker (typically 1 - 2 days after the transaction occurs). The transaction fee structure is a bit different when using your own merchant account as your merchant processor and/or gateway account may have differing transaction fees.Click the Contact Support link at the top of the page to submit a ticket if you would like additional information on using your own merchant account with our online registration systems.Q: When are Registration Deposits made into our Organization’s account??(Sport Ngin Merchant Account?Information)A: If you are using the Sport Ngin Merchant Account, the registration Batch Direct Deposits are made weekly into your Organization’s Bank Account, typically on Mondays. The initial deposit will be made approximately 2 weeks after the registration session has been opened and users have begun registering, then weekly after that. You can track all Financials including Batch Deposit Amounts, Pending Funds and Weekly Totals from the Financials Tab in the Admin Control Panel of your website.Q: Is there a way to Track the Registration Financials?A: You can track all Financials including Batch Deposit Amounts, Pending Funds and Weekly Totals from the Financials Tab in the Admin Control Panel of your website.?Q: How do I send Blast Emails to our Registrants??(How do I email a group from a Registration Report?)A: See Above Question for “How do I create a Report/View the Registration Data”, as you will first need to create a report. Once you have created a report that encompasses the group of registrants you wish to send a blast email message to, you will find a menu of options in the upper right of your report:You can Print the Report,Send a Message to the List (this send an email blast only to the Registrants who match this report’s criteria),Create a Smart Group (for future group management and communication tools)Export to Excel (to share the report externally, or manipulate data fields).?Q: How do I enter Registration Data into the online system from users who turned in a paper registration or do not have computer/internet access??(How do I Manually Register a Registrant)A: A person with Admin Control Panel access on your website will need to enter the registration session as any general user would, but using their own log in username. On the “Who Are You Registering Page” of the registration session, anyone with Admin Control Panel access will have the option to Register a Person that is not connected my account (Admin Only). By choosing this option, an Admin can enter in the Player’s information online, and select the Pay Offline Option (since Admins will always see the option to Pay Offline) on the Shopping Cart Page. If this registrant (or this registrant’s guardian) later creates an account on your website, you can transfer this “Orphan” to the user’s account. Go to: How do I transfer an Orphan registration to an actual account?Q: There is a Pay Offline option, but we only wanted to offer a Pay Online option?A: Anyone with Admin Control Panel access on your site will see the option to "Pay Offline" when they come to the Shopping Cart Page. General Users will never see this option.?Q: What is the fee if the Customer Pays processing fee??The processing fee is the cost charged per online transaction. The percentage is based on the Order Amount, and the flat dollar amount is based on the number of transactions.Example: An order with a total amount of $500.00 at a processing rate of 3.5% + $2.00 would incur a processing fee of $19.50 for a payment that was paid in full ($500.00 x 0.035 + $2.00). A payment plan of two installments for this same order amount would incur a processing fee of $21.50 ($500 x 0.035 + $2.00 + $2.00) — an extra $2.00 is charged for the second installment.?If you elect to pass the processing fee on to your registrants, they will see this listed as an additional line item on the Shopping Cart screen. If you do not want your registrants to see the processing fee line item, your association is then responsible for the fee. It will be deducted from your weekly payout amount. You may choose to recoup the fee by building it into your program fees or via a late fee, or you may simply absorb the cost. ................
