Express Payments is a faster option for merchants who don’t require full invoicing or inventory management to receive payments.

Express Payment is activated per location.

 Express Payment works on both websites and apps.

  1. Set the Amount: Effortlessly enter the total amount due, whether for parts, services, or any in-shop purchase.
  2. Payment Options: Provide customers with a seamless payment experience by either entering their credit card details directly or sharing a secure remote checkout link.
  3.  Instant Invoicing: With a few clicks, generate an invoice on the spot, ensuring accurate record-keeping and facilitating prompt payment collection.
  4. Immediate Confirmation: Customers receive instant confirmation upon successful payment, allowing them to promptly receive their purchases or services.

Express Payment works only for Credit Card transactions, both present and not present, and for Remote Checkout.

Payer information is only collected for Remote Checkout payments or if the payer requests a receipt.

No, the settlement times for Express Payments invoices will remain consistent and unchanged from the previously determined timeframe.

You can easily search for invoices by entering the last four digits of the credit/debit card used for payment. This streamlined process helps you quickly locate specific invoices as needed.

If you have Express Payments enabled for multiple locations, you can easily select the desired location from a dropdown menu during invoice creation. However, if only one location has Express Payments enabled, the dropdown menu won’t appear, simplifying the process for you.

Yes, convenience fees can be toggled on and off.

PayLink is a customized hosted payment page provided by RoadSync. This page offers secure checkout capabilities for business websites without the need for building their own payment gateways. When customers make a purchase, they are directed to this external page to enter their payment information, ensuring a seamless and secure transaction process.

 PayLink is activated per company and may support multiple locations.

  1. Send the Payment Link: Send your customers your custom PayLink url. They click on it to start paying based on the invoice or info they got.
  2. Secure Payment: Your customers fill in their payment details on the safe PayLink page. They pick how they want to pay for an easy time.
  3. Instant Confirmation: Once they pay, your customers get an email receipt right away. This keeps things clear and smooth.
  4. Easy Reconciliation:Our system works smoothly with your customer’s payer account. This makes it simple to match up payments and keep track of receipts online.

PayLink can be added to invoices, websites, QR codes, emails, and more.

 Payment methods available are all those set in the “remote checkout” settings.

No, settlement times for PayLink invoices will remain consistent and unchanged from the previously determined timeframe.

Convenience fees are enabled by default but can be adjusted.

Taxes are not enabled by default, assuming they would be handled by other invoicing systems.

All invoice creations are protected by Captcha to block bots and maintain data integrity.

 

All credit card transactions with PayLink should have 3D Secure turned on.

The payer receives a receipt via email/sms and can view payment details to see a PDF receipt. If the payer logs into the driver.roadsync.app or payer.roadsync.app, the receipt will be saved there too.

3D Secure is an additional layer of security for online card payments. It requires customers to authenticate themselves with their card issuer before completing a transaction. This is typically done by entering a one-time password received via text message or app.

Enabling 3DS can help reduce the risk of fraudulent transactions and chargebacks, providing added security for both you and your customers.

Yes, with 3DS, certain chargeback liabilities may shift from the merchant to the card issuer. However, this isn’t always the case and depends on various factors, including card network policies. While 3DS adds an extra layer of protection, merchants should remain vigilant and address disputes promptly.

No, 3DS primarily prevents chargebacks related to fraudulent card use, but it doesn’t cover all scenarios. While it greatly reduces the risk of fraudulent chargebacks, other reasons like non-receipt of goods or service dissatisfaction could still lead to chargebacks initiated by the cardholder.

  1. The customer initiates a payment on RoadSync via a RoadSync Remote Checkout link.
  2. The RoadSync platform sends a request to the card issuer to verify the cardholder’s identity.
  3. The card issuer prompts the customer to provide additional authentication, such as a one-time password sent to their mobile phone, or biometric data like a fingerprint or facial recognition.
  4. The customer provides the required authentication information.
  5. The card issuer verifies the information and sends a response back to RoadSync, either approving or declining the transaction.

For transactions through RoadSync Checkout, 3DS will only be prompted through the Remote Checkout and PayLink feature. 3DS is available for most cards used across RoadSync. However, there are certain cases to consider:

  • Card Types: 3DS may not be available for international cards, prepaid cards and certain corporate expense cards.
  • Issuer Variability: For Mastercard (MC) and Visa cards, the availability of 3DS can vary based on the issuer’s decision. However, Discover and American Express (Amex) cards always have 3DS available.

In most cases, your customers cannot opt-out of 3DS. However, some banks may offer the option to opt-out of 3DS for certain transactions or card types.

RoadSync does not charge any additional fees for enabling 3DS if you are in the Professional or Enterprise tier program. 

No, the 3DS prompt seen by customers is controlled by the card issuer and not RoadSync. Customization options for the 3DS authentication dialog are determined by the policies and branding guidelines of the respective card issuer.

3DS is designed to enhance security for online payments, but there are scenarios where it may not activate:

  • Contactless Payments at Point of Sale: While 3DS excels in securing online payments, it may not activate for in-person contactless transactions at the point of sale.
  • Trusted Beneficiaries: If a customer frequently transacts with a trusted vendor and marks them as a trusted beneficiary, 3DS might not activate for subsequent transactions to enhance user convenience.
  • Recurring Transactions: For subscription-based services or recurring payments, 3DS may not activate after the initial authentication to provide a smoother experience for regular transactions.
  • Low-Value Transactions: In some cases, 3DS may not be triggered for low-value transactions to balance security with user experience, ensuring a hassle-free checkout for smaller purchases.
  • Secure Corporate Payments: Certain corporate cards may be exempt from 3DS authentication if they are deemed secure and low-risk, facilitating efficient business transactions while maintaining security standards.

 If 3DS does not activate for a transaction and the merchant trusts the customer, alternative payment methods can be considered:

  1. Create a New Invoice: Merchants can create a new invoice with a different payment method, such as ACH or Fleet Check, without using remote checkout or sending a paylink.
  2. Input Customer’s Payment Information: Merchants can manually input the customer’s payment information to process the transaction securely.

There could be several reasons why a transaction failed despite having 3DS turned on:

  1. Authentication Failure: The authentication process required by 3DS might have failed, possibly due to incorrect input of the one-time password or other authentication factors.
  2. Technical Issues: Technical issues on either the merchant’s or the card issuer’s end could have caused the transaction to fail. This could include server issues, network problems, or system errors.
  3. Card Issues: The customer’s card might have expired, been canceled, or reached its limit, preventing the transaction from being processed successfully.
  4. Risk Assessment: The transaction might have been flagged as high-risk by the card issuer or the 3DS authentication system, leading to its rejection for security reasons.
