Steps: Pay Invoices Through Customer Portal

Steps: Pay Invoices Through Customer Portal

  • Create and host a web application to integrate the customer portal with an external payment provider.
  • Set up the security configuration for the web application.
  • To integrate Workday with the web application, define the web application URL by accessing the
    Create External URL
    task.
Workday enables your customers to pay their invoices directly using a credit card, providing you convenience and time savings.
To use this functionality, set up:
  • Payment type for customer portal transactions and enable it for your tenant.
  • Bank account.
  • Payment provider and merchant account to process the credit card payments.
  • Invoices eligibility rules.
  • Pay Customer Invoices worklet on the customer portal.
When your end customers sign in to the customer portal, they can:
  • Access the
    Pay Customer Invoices
    task and search for invoices by various criteria including invoice date, due date, total invoice amount for a given company and currency.
  • Select the invoices to pay based on the credit limit of the credit card for a given session. However, you can't change the amount to pay for a specific invoice.
If the credit card payment is successful, Workday displays a confirmation page for your customers. Workday also records the customer payment automatically and you can:
  • Apply the payment manually or use the auto apply functionality.
  • Enter a discount amount when you apply the payment manually.
  • Create a deposit.
