What is the main advantage of AddPay Collections?

Gain full control by managing all your collections and communications in one live console. You are able to offer the most appropriate payment method (Debit Orders, Recurring Card and Auto EFT) with easy to use online signups. Customer convenience from selecting their preferred payment method as they checkout from their online signup.

What is an Auto EFT?

Auto EFT is a new payment method offered by RebelPay for all Customers with access to internet banking. When signing up Customers can choose to pay with an Auto EFT. Customers do a one-time registration, and then benefit from having their payments created automatically in their internet banking profile. No errors with loading beneficiaries or references, and funds are confirmed immediately to the Merchant.

How does Recurring Card work?

For Customers who choose to pay with Recurring Card when signing up, their first payment will be authenticated with a 3dSecure or Verified by Visa transaction. The card details are tokenised to run subsequent recurring transactions, no further action required from the Customer.

How do Debit Orders work?

Customers who checkout and choose to pay by Debit Order get an online mandate to fill out. The mandate is confirmed by two factor authentication and is sent for Account Verification. Active contracts will automatically run on the set date.

How do I decide which payment methods to install?

It’s a combination of transactional costs balanced against the cost of failed collections. Our sales consultants will gladly discuss the pros and cons of each payment method with you.

Is migration from Silver to Platinum possible?

Yes migration is as easy as installing the additional payment methods in your AddPay Console.

Is integration with AddPay Collections possible?

Yes we have an easy to use Widget that handles the checkout. Please see our API documentation on this, or speak to our sales consultants who will guide you in this.

What is the relationship between merchant accounts?

You are in control of creating the Customer, Contract, Transactions, payment method and the Customer References used, therefore its your choice how to structure. However, we encourage all larger Merchants to have their own Merchant Account for Card and Collection Account for Auto EFT and Debit Orders.
AddPay is an Aggregator, and therefore while your turnover is below ZAR 170,000 per month you may operate under the AddPay’s Merchant account. In the event your turnover exceeds this level we will apply for your own Merchant account.

We have PHP and JavaScript libraries.
