BPAY

AroFlo allows you to create a BPAY QR Code which can then be used on your invoice layouts and RTF document templates. These let your customers make a payment in seconds, simply by scanning the QR code on their paper or electronic bill with their mobile or tablet device.

When customers receive your invoice, they can log onto their mobile banking app and if their financial institution offers BPAY QR code compatibility, they can scan the BPAY QR Code. The application automatically creates a BPAY payment, so they can complete the transaction in moments.

Alternatively, you can set up a BPAY Standard barcode which does not include the QR code.

Set up a BPAY QR code/standard barcode

1. Go to Site Administration > Settings > Custom Barcode Formats (under the Add-Ons category).
   

   If you have multiple business units, you can configure separate BPAY details for each business unit. You will need to change the business unit at the top of the screen, before clicking the Custom Barcode Format link.

    
2. Click the BPAY tab.
3. Enter the BPAY Biller Code provided by your financial institution.
   

   More info

   This is the same BPAY Biller Code which may already be set on the selected Business Unit, in the Customer Payment Options tab. Updating the code here will update the BPAY Biller Code set on the Business Unit.

   

    

    

   If you have multiple Business Units, each with a different BPAY Biller code, tick Use Current Business Unit Payment Options.

   When this setting is unticked, the BPAY biller code found in the highest level Business Unit will be used.

   Note that this checkbox is only available in 'child' (lower level) Business Units, not in the highest level one.

    
4. Confirm with your financial institution which Stamp Type to use as each stamp type has a specific purpose. The main options are Standard and Standard with QR Code.
   

   If your business does not accept payments from a credit card, you can select a stamp type which states that payments can only be made from a bank account or debit card.

    
5. Select the CRN Length (length of the customer reference number). This can either be a fixed length (2-20 digits) or variable length, and is specified by your financial institution when you apply for BPAY.
   

   The customer reference number displayed on your invoice may include an extra digit. The last digit will be based on the Check Digit Algorithm used. 

    
6. Confirm the Check Digit Algorithm used by your financial institution.
7. Click Save. A preview of your QR Code will then update.
