Pay for Approved Shipments via the eCert Merchant Facilities
Once the Chamber has stamped and approved the submission, it will automatically be added to the cart for the consumer where they are required to make payment via the eCert Merchant Facilities.
The consumer has a Central Cart that is visible to all signatories. The Central Cart will display all the shipments that have been accepted manually or automatically by the exporter/freight forwarder signatories and have not been paid yet (ready for the payment to be made).
These shipments will be identified with the status of Awaiting Payment.
Review items in Central Cart
You can review the shipments that are currently in the central cart by clicking on the cart icon in the top right corner.
The current contents of the cart will be displayed.
Select Items to Pay For
Step 1. By default, all the shipments will be selected/ ticked.
Step 2. If you do not wish to make payment for a particular shipment at this time (but will at a later date), you may de-select it by checking the check box next to the relevant shipment.
NOTE: The Merchant Fee is a handling fee that will be passed on to the Exporter or Freight Forwarder to offset the charge imposed by PayPal for using their service.The Merchant Fee is only applicable if the configuration is set accordingly.
Remove items from the Cart
If you wish to remove an item from the cart permanently and not make the payment, you may decline the shipment. Declining the Shipment will remove it from the cart and place it in the status of ‘Declined By Member’.
Make Payment for the Items in Cart
Step 1. To pay for the shipment(s) that exist in central cart, click ‘Pay Now’ in the bottom right corner.
Step 2. The moment you click ‘Pay Now’ button, the selected shipments will be locked in ‘Payment in Progress’ status against your account. Any other signatory, concurrently paying for the shipments, will not be able to select those shipments.
Step 3. The online payment gateway login screen will be displayed.
Step 4. Once the payment has been processed, you will be taken back to eCertify. eCertify will display a download link to obtain your completed documents. Depending on the registration for the user, eCertify may produce and send another email containing an invoice for your payment.
Step 5. You will also receive an email for each shipment you paid for from the chamber with your completed documents attached.
Shopping Cart Submission Groupings
The shopping cart will group submissions based on the Chambers' online payment gateway. When you click 'Pay Now' in each group, eCertify will take you to the respective payment pages.
