EPPS
EPPS is a payment gateway that links Forth to merchant processors.
Integration Details:
- Accepts Credit Card (CC), ACH Debit, and ACH Credit / Fee transaction types.
- Optional capability to escrow funds.
- Forth CRM accounts with the Multi-Company/Affiliate Enhancement can integrate unique EPPS gateways to each individual company.
- The "Process Now" function is not currently supported by EPPS.
Processing Details:
EPPS processes payments in batches, on the day that they are scheduled. Once a contact is enrolled, an account is created in EPPS' system and is linked to that contact in the CRM. This means if a contact is enrolled under another gateway and then switched to EPPS during enrollment, processing errors may occur. To fix this, we advise you to re-enroll the contact.
For clients using EPPS, FORTH now supports the transmission of creditor bank account information for wire transfers. This was achieved by an update to the existing AddFee method, now AddFee2, which includes AccountNumber and RoutingNumber fields.
Batch Time (CST):
12:30PM, 2:30PM
