3.A valid Day Type Calendar. This CANNOT BE LEFT EMPTY; a proper calendar must be present.
4.A Direct Payment Portal profile must be created beforehand to be associated to the configuration. Card Payment Profile
Citation Payments configuration
A new site, cwo2citationpayment, has been created to allow payments.
The site used the Purchase Pre-Requisites functionality to get a payment amount, either with an amount or a tariff package returned from a third-party service. Once the amount has been retrieved, the user is prompted to "pay", and they can enter "allowed" credit cards. Cards are allowed for this kind of payment using the Payment Routing settings.
When configured, the site will also call Ongoing Purchase (Online Purchase Transfer license) to notify the 3rd party that a purchase has been created.
The citation is configured in the company settings in the Cwo2CitationPayment Config tab, and each company can configure the look and feel of their sites (header image, colours etc.) to match their own portals. In the customer portal, they will also be able to search for previously paid citations and download existing purchase receipts (when available) using their citation number as well as the last 4 digits of the card used to pay the citation.

Ongoing Purchase Configuration
Ongoing purchase must be configured if you want the 3rd party to receive information about a payment being performed. The only other way for this to be performed is for an export of purchase information to be called, however, if the 3rd party is not made aware of payments in real time, it is possible that a citation can be paid multiple times.
