Credit card

Real-time credit card processing ensures that successful enrolments are only made when the money is in your bank account. On the Payment page the student will need to select the terms and conditions checkbox, then they can enter their credit card details and click on the 'Confirm purchase' button to complete the order.

The credit card is captured by onCourse over an SSL encrypted connection. The full card number and CVV are never stored for online payments, only passed directly to the banking system, so in the unlikely event of a security breach there are technically no stored card details for anyone to steal. The user should expect a response in about 5-10 seconds, and during this time the enrolment is put on hold, preventing someone else taking the last place available in a class.

Should the payment fail due to insufficient funds or some other problem, onCourse will retain the transaction history as an invoice, a failed payment, and a credit note reversing out the invoice. We encourage you to regularly review failed payments in your system and follow up with the user to offer them alternative payment means.
