Top-Up / Prepaid Cards
This functionality is included as standard in all versions of PaperCut. Find out which version is right for you here (in PDF format). PaperCut allows organisation to print out Top-Up Cards with predefined values and expiry dates which can then be sold to users and redeemed by them in a manner similar to mobile phone top-up vouchers. The user simply logs on to the PaperCut end-user web portal and enters the voucher number to add the purchased credit. All attempts to redeem vouchers, successful or otherwise are logged!
Over the Counter Payments
This functionality is included as standard in all versions of PaperCut. Find out which version is right for you here (in PDF format). Users can either visit a member of staff, make payment and the staff member then adds credit to their account, all from the convenience of the PaperCut web interface. Alternatively staff can ask users to pay for the exact cost of their queued print jobs, take the payment and then release their jobs, all from the convenience of PaperCut’s web-based print release interface.
Value Loaders
PaperCut MF can support hardware-based value loaders that allow users to pay money into their accounts using coins and notes. The user authenticates at the value loader using their username, user ID or one of a wide range of supported cards and adds credit to their account by making coin and or note payments. Receipts can also be provided. To find out more about the Value Loaders that ITS supply for use with PaperCut MF please click here.
Web-Payment
PaperCut MF can provide a system of web-based payment whereby the user logs on to the PaperCut end-user portal and adds credit to their account through PaperCut’s integration with a range of online payment service providers including Barclays ePDQ and PayPal. To find out more about the available web-payment options in PaperCut MF please click here.
Integration with Other Systems
PaperCut MF can interface with third party systems via a well documented set of APIs. You might like add credit to the user’s print and copy account by transferring money from another “virtual money” application already in place at your organisation. Please note that depending on your requirements and the development team’s current workload bespoke development may be a possibility. Please do contact us to discuss your requirements.
