Recreation Management works with your Payment Gateway to initiate payment online through what is called a “hosted form.” This is the form your users fill out and enter their credit/debit card information when purchasing anything online.
If someone closes their Browser too soon, refreshes it in the middle of a transaction, or loses internet connectivity, it can cause the transaction to never make it back to Recreation Management. If a user clicks the payment button multiple times, they may end up with multiple charges on their card.
To mitigate some of this behavior and ensure a smooth online transaction experience, it is critical that a user receives a receipt from Recreation Management before closing their browser/changing pages and is patient, and only clicks the payment button once.
Tips for a Seamless Checkout Process
Create a Mandatory Agreement prompt that is set as Once Per Cart
Note: In the Text field, add a note similar to the following: “When paying with a credit card, Recreation Management. On a mobile device, you will be prompted to enter your credit card information and click ‘submit payment.’ On the next screen, you must click "Complete Transaction" to finalize your purchase. If you do not receive a receipt from Recreation Management, please email us with your contact information and what you purchased.”
Create a Catalog Notification: Use the same information above and set it to display both to the public as well as internally, as these checkout behaviors could occur with your staff as well
