eMembership - Payment Processing - YouTube

eMembership provides the capability to process payment from your members.

Payments are organzied by batch, you can have more than one batch pre day.

You can also seperate batches by account, where account is just a way to organize information

in a way that is easy to separate from an accounting point of view and can also be used

to separate checks between dues and other sorts of contributions for example.

Let's take a look at an example.

I am going to create a batch for $100.

The $100 I'm entering came from a separate tally of the checks and will be used as a

check sum on my data entry.

Once the batch is created, I can begin to enter member payments.

eMembership uses a type ahead to help you in identifying the member you are interested

in entering a check for.

Once I select the member, I can then pick the type of payment.

which can include checks or credit cards, optionally a reference number and then the

amount.

Once the amount is entered, one of the other characteristics of eMembership is that, that

payment will be applied to any outstanding amounts that the member may have.

Also it will be possible that payments made in advance or overpayments or payments that

are made for other purposes to simply create a credit for future use.

As you can see, the amounts are calculated in advance by eMembership, but you have the

opportunity to change them if so desired.

In this case for example, I can move all of the payments from dues to initiation if that

is the purpose for which the member had submitted their payment.

At this point, it is also possible to be able to look at various reports, in this case we

have only one member, typically their would be multiple.

Batch reports show us what is basically a check registar with where the amounts were

allocated on a very general basis.

And in this case for example, we can see that $64 went to quarterly dues and $26 to initiation

and $10 to a late fee.

We can also print receipts.

Receipts are customized to include your specific information and can be set up in any way that

suits your business requirements.

Receipts can be printed or as an optional feature eMembership will allow you to email

them to your members instead if the checks were in fact received through the mail.

This is eMembership's payment processing facility.
