How to Define the Default Registration Payment Mechanism
In Nucleus there is a Configuration Value that allows Admins to choose which default payment mechanism new Entrants that register in the system. For example, if Admins want everyone to be able to pay online only.
Nucleus allows Admins to make exceptions , if required, regardless of the default Payment Type set in the system. For instance, Admins can force a specific payment type for an Award, so that Entrants can pay online, offline or both.
Alternatively, admins can also set the payment type for individual Organisations. For example, if the default payment type is set to be online, but they want to give specific Organisations (eg. a Broadcaster) the ability to pay via invoice, this can do that on an individual basis. This guide explains in more detail both processes.
