During the Fair
The Portal allows a split tender—shoppers can pay a portion of the total with one payment option and use a second option to complete the sale.
There are three options available to process refunds:
eWallets: Use the Portal and follow the prompts
Credit cards: Call 888-412-9124
Other payments: Complete an “even exchange” for a same-price item
If your school received a register, it must be connected to the Internet to maintain accurate eWallet balances. If your register is not connected, you should only process eWallets using the Portal. Connection Guide: red register | white register
After the Fair
Once all sales have been processed, review and confirm your totals, which are located on the tab titled, “Sales Totals”. When ready, close out the Payment Portal by selecting “Upload Totals and Close Out the Fair”.
If you used a register in addition to the Portal, be sure it’s connected to the Internet and tap CLOSE FAIR on the register’s Home screen. Closing Out the Register Guide
