ePayments for PCounter
Many Colleges recognise the need to control printing costs, and by far the most popular way to do this is using PCounter Software from Altman Associates. However, charging for printing brings its own problems, not least being the collection of small payments.
A number of cash collection machines are available, including Netmania's PayStation for Login.Point - the world's first self-service account creation and password reset system. Now you can add a new dimension to payment collection with ePayments for PCounter.
About The System
ePayments for PCounter is a simple tool to enable payments for printing to be collected through a web page.
The system allows parents to top-up printing credits without having to visit the college - ideal for those emergency top-ups when that important assignment is due.
ePayments for PCounter makes use of the PayPal system which provides a low-cost and simple means for credit card payments to be made over the internet.
Your college can sign up for PayPal - free of charge - all you pay is a collection fee per transaction.
About How It Works
We provide you with a web server that hosts a site where parents can register to look after their children’s printing accounts. On this site parents can:
- Register their children’s login names
- View their available printing balances
- Make payments via PayPal
The ePayments for PCounter back-end server links to your existing PCounter printer server, to provide balances and apply top-ups.
It also maintains a full audit trail table, so that you can easily see what money has come in.
