ePAY Store Set-up Survey

On January 14, 2021 ePAY will be sending out a survey to departments needing credit card processing capability to solicit some initial information about their requirements. The quick 14 question survey will ask departments about their current credit card processing state, the products and services provided to their customer and their desired timeframe for deploying the new ecommerce solution.

Welcome to ePAY

Since its launch, the ePAY project team is pleased to announce that 14 departments have migrated to the new ePAY platform and more are in development. The team has worked with each department to customize their site to meet their needs. Customers can now access these sites to purchase products or services, pay for invoices, pay application fees, register for classes, and more.

Project Notes

To ensure we build consistency in our credit card acceptance platform, departments must contact epay@yale.edu before:

• initiating a search for a solution, an upgrade, or making a change to an existing solution.
• selecting a new system or finalizing any agreements, if already conducting a search.
