Pre-Conditions
PayLink electronic payment processing must be enabled for the account.
The distributor server setup must have the Payment Type configured for Remote Check.
Steps
Ensure the Payment Type is configured for Remote Check in the distributor server setup.
Navigate to the Payment Types table
Click ‘Add Payment Types’
Create a new payment type, ensuring the following:
deposit group matches your currently existing paylink deposit group
Payment Processor = Paylink
Paylink Push Pay = Remote Check Capture
Connect the new payment type to the desired credit term.
In Encompass Mobile:
Navigate to the Request PayLink Payment screen from the Customer Dashboard or the Invoice Total page.
Select the unpaid invoices to be included in the payment.
Click or tap the Remote Check Capture button.
Enter the payment amount.
Take or upload clear photos of both the front and back of the paper check.
Submit the payment request.
Submitted transactions will automatically generate the remittance invoice and update statuses as verification completes.
Fields And Definitions
Remote Check Capture: The processing option that allows physical check images to be scanned and submitted electronically for invoice settlement.
Payment Pending: The temporary status assigned to a transaction immediately after submission while check verification is underway.
Settled: The status indicating that the check processing and verification completed successfully and payment has been posted to the ledger.
Best Practices
Ensure check images are captured in a well-lit area on a solid, contrasting background so that all four corners and the bottom MICR line (routing and account numbers) are sharp and readable.
Confirm that the total payment amount entered exactly matches the written check amount prior to submission to avoid transaction rejections or delays.
