1. Overview

This manual explains the process of creating debit scheduling.

2. Create Schedules

2.1. Navigate to Collection Schedule

Click on a deal under MCA deals. Go to the "Collection Schedule" tab.

2.2 Adding a Schedule

Click the "Add Schedule" button. Fill out the required fields.

2.3 Options for ‘Frequency’

The first dropdown, Frequency, has these options:

· Daily

· Weekly

· Monthly

· Same Day Debit (used for non-repeating schedules)

· One Time Debit

Note: Schedules must be entered prior to the cut-off times defined by the processor. For ACHWorks, Same Day Debit schedules must be entered before the 1:30 PM EST cut-off time. Daily schedules must be entered before 8:30 PM. Any later, will count as a Same Day Debit for the following day.

2.4 Holiday Debits

Holiday Debits occur on bank holidays, which can be referenced in the system under the Fed Holidays tab. Options for Holiday debiting include:

· Turn off bank holiday debits (resulting in additional days added to the collection schedule).

· Collect twice one day before.

· Collect twice on the day after.

Note: Weekly and monthly schedules are not affected by these options.

2.5 Required Fields:

· ABA number

· Account number

· Bank name

· Recurring amount

2.6 Memos

· Internal Memo: For company use, displayed under transaction description in the system.

· External Memo: Provided to the bank, visible to the customer in their bank account transaction details.

2.7 Special Fee:

This fee goes directly to the house, not split between syndicators. It is similar to a bank fee and is applicable when setting up deals where the house is compensated for services rendered, either in lieu of or in addition to its syndication split.

2.8 Turn Off Debits

This button allows you to pause one or all debit schedules for a specified number of days. After this pause, the debit schedule will resume normally.

2.9 View Collections

This button allows you to see the details of each debit sent from the bank, as well as giving you the option of manually revoking the debit if it hasn’t gone through yet.

3. Schedule Calendar

In the next tab, Schedule Calendar, you can view the created schedules as well as debits that have already occurred and future scheduled debits.

3.1 Icons and Payment Status Meanings

Icons representing payment status include:

• Failed

• Success

• Pending

• Future (indicating a debit scheduled for a future date).

4. Deal Collection Logs

A powerful way to see all collection logs or to search through them with filters, is through the Deal Collection Logs tab, found in the Settings dropdown menu.

Here, you can easily filter the results. For example, by typing in the merchant name under NAME, you can check a single merchant’s payment history. You can further filter that data to by selecting the date for the specified merchant to get the collection history or the merchant on that date. You can then, for example, further drill down through sorting by STATUS to get all failed collections show up first.

5. Conclusion

This covers the process of scheduling payments. If you have any further questions or need assistance, please refer to the user manual video or contact our support team.
