a. Set up a payment option for External payment methods
Suppose you have not connected your tenant to any 3rd party Finance providers (such as payment gateways or accounting services) and want to indicate an installment as paid in Seamless. In that case, this section is tailored for you.
The payment type of your payment option must be set to "External" to inform Seamless that no installment export is required for policies using this payment method.
b. Set up a payment option for billing provider/ payment gateway integration
Once you have linked your tenant to a payment gateway or billing provider, you will need to configure the settings in this section.
The payment type of your payment option must be set to "IntegratedCheckout" to inform Seamless to export a policy’s installment to the proper provider.
c. Set up a payment option for an accounting provider
Once you have linked your tenant to an accounting provider, you will need to configure the settings in this section.
The payment type of your payment option must be set to "Invoice" to inform Seamless to export a policy’s installment to the proper provider.
