Overview
Wild Apricot provides an integrated solution for online payments - meaning that when people use online forms on your Wild Apricot website, they can instantly and securely pay online by using a credit card.
 | Wild Apricot also provides an integrated solution for offline payments, for details see Offline Payments. |
Here is how it works:
- There are several online forms provided with your Wild Apricot account which provide online self-service functionality:
- Users will have the option to pay online, immediately and securely.
- Once the payment is confirmed, the payment system will automatically notify and update the transaction status of the payment record in Wild Apricot. Depending on your settings in Wild Apricot, this can initiate further actions - activating membership, emailing welcome letter, sending event registration receipts or donation confirmation.
- Money received will be automatically deposited to your merchant account according to your payment system terms and conditions. Wild Apricot does not touch the payment or deduct any fees.
