BHPH

Online payments with Promise to Pay Pending

We have added a new setting to the Online Payment Settings section of BHPH settings for "Allow Online Payments to Satisfy Promises.”

 

When this setting is enabled, online payments made the day before or the day of a pending Promise to Pay will mark those promises as “Paid as Promised” (if the payment is enough to satisfy the Promise) or "Paid Partial" ” (if the payment is not enough to satisfy the Promise)

When setting up an Auto-Pay Schedule, the pop-up screen will give users the option to make payments on a specific day or week for the month.
