Refund Tips

Cancelling an Order does NOT cancel the payment.  Use Issue Refund instead, available from the Payments Menu in the Order Manager.  Then cancel the order for inventory restocking and for Forms Report accuracy.

 

If it is necessary to refund an order, you need to wait 24 hours before issuing a refund.  Your customer will have access to those funds quicker.

Recent ePayTrak Upgrades & Improvements 

 

Reports Improvements

  • We have added the parent/customer home phone number to the Forms Report.  This addition will save both you and your parents time by not having to include a phone number on custom forms.
  • We are wrapping up development of a major upgrade for ePayTrak.  Schools will now have the ability to mass generate fees by district, grade, campus, student and more. You will be able to keep a running balance of amount due, send out mail and e-mail statements, manage accounts receivable, and much more.  If you are interested in this functionality for your school please contact your account representative!
  • We've added more memory to our servers, which has significantly improved system reponse time; reports are now created much faster.

If you need specific reports that you don't see in ePayTrak, or would like to see additions to existing reports, please forward your request to techsupport@edutrak.com and will do our best to accommodate you! 

ePayTrak Tips
  • If one of your products/classes is a repeating event, such as a 5k race, it is best to copy the product from the previous date, which creates a new product. Then make any necessary changes to the next event date, such as a new SKU, etc.  Reusing the same product and changing it for each event is not recommended.  The history of the product will prevent you from getting accurate inventory reports.
  • When creating a new product/class, it is recommended that you use the Hidden setting under Product visibility. When you complete the product/class, then make it visible to the public.
If you don't wish to receive future newsletters, just let us know.  If you know someone who didn't receive this newsletter, you can join by clicking on the 'join our mailing list' link in this newsletter, or by contacting us.
