If you happened to miss the most recent Q & A RecChat, no need to worry, you can get caught up by reading the most helpful takeaways below. 


For this past week's RecChat discussion, we answered questions all about PayTrac. The panel consisted of Cullen Barber, Dave Wirtz, Jordan Tipson, Patrick Hayden, and Zach Daley. The topics include fees and refunds, transactions and credit cards, installment payments and pricing, and hardware and processing. 


Fees & Refunds: 

How are the RecTrac servicing fees calculated? 

Servicing fees are calculated as a percentage, as well as a flat fee. If you would like a more personalized pricing proposal, please contact Zach Daley.


When are fees deducted for the payment of PayTrac? 

Fees are deducted at the time of the sale. There is no extra invoice specifically for fees. 


When a refund is necessary, how do the fees work with PayTrac? 

Fees are not refunded. This includes service fees and/or any processing fees absorbed by the provider for their purchase. If there is a time when the patron is incorrectly charged, a service fee refund can be done, but the RecTrac default workflow, or a WebTrac cancellation would never refund the service fee automatically. 


Transactions & Credit Cards: 

When a patron uses a credit card does their information get stored anywhere in PayTrac?

No, credit card information does not get stored on your server or anywhere in RecTrac. 


What types of payment methods are accepted when using PayTrac? 

All major credit cards are accepted as payment. 


Can a patron use Apple Pay, Google Pay, tap cards, and chip cards with PayTrac? 

Yes, both devices are capable of reading chip cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and tap cards. 


Can I key in a card number?

Yes, you can manually enter the card number into the hardware units, but note that it does not allow for on screen entry. 


Do you see each transaction separately, or do you get one deposit for the total of transactions?
