Limitations for paid ticket registration with PayPal
With OnZoom, hosts are able to create paid events at any time and any place of their choice and schedule them for any date and time.
In order for you to be able to offer paid ticket registrations during the paid event you create using PayPal as the online payment platform linked to your OnZoom host account, you will have to wait until 29 days before the date of the paid event is scheduled to begin on the PayPal business account dashboard.
There is currently no automatic pay-per-ticket registration via Zoom Events Hubs until 12 months before the start date of your paying event, as these hubs are linked to both a PayPal business account and a Stripe account.
How to manage billing
Update billing information
Following are the steps you will need to follow in order to update your billing information:
- OnZoom requires that you log in with your email address and password in order to access the service.
- In the top right hand corner, you will see the Manage tab.
- If you click on the Billing Information link within the navigation menu, you will see the following.
- You will need to fill out the address information under Your Address.
Note: The billing address does not have to be provided in order to create paid events, however you will not be able to do so without one. - You will be prompted to save your changes.
How to manage your PayPal business account dashboard
On your PayPal business account dashboard, you can manage your payments, implement refunds, respond to disputes, monitor your business account, set up new features, and configure your PayPal business account. In addition, you can see at a glance useful information about your account activity.
Fund capture
In order to ensure that funds are effectively captured, the transaction will remain pending for two days after a ticket is purchased with a credit or debit card. The purpose of this feature is to protect you from paying PayPal processing fees if you request a refund or cancel your order during that period.
Note: Even if there is a refund for a transaction, you will be responsible for paying the PayPal fees for that transaction once it is captured. As a result of this two-day authorization period, the transaction is considered to be approved, meaning that the credit card/bank issuing the transaction has approved the funds held for the purchase. A confirmation of the purchase will appear on an Attendee’s credit or debit card account during this two-day processing period.
Approve or reject refunds
The refund request can be approved or denied from within OnZoom if it was submitted within 14 days after the event’s end date.
If you request a refund 15 days after the end of the event or for a refund request made after that time, you will need to sign in to your PayPal business account in order to approve the refund.
International payments/currencies
Note:
In order for PayPal business accounts to accept additional currencies, the account must be enabled for that purpose. There is a possibility that, if funds are received in a currency that is not enabled on the account, they will immediately be marked as unclaimed.
You will need to make adjustments to your PayPal account dashboard so that international payments/currencies can be accepted. This PayPal support document will give more information on how to go about this. The following are the three options you have available to you:
- Accept all international payment methods and convert them into the currency that your PayPal account is set up in.
- Refusing the payment will prevent the customer from being able to complete his or her purchase.
- All international payments and currencies should be accepted and a holding balance should be created in that currency.
Please visit this PayPal support page if you would like more information and detailed instructions.
View chargebacks
An issuer of your credit card will usually refund you a chargeback if you file a dispute with the company that issued your credit card asking for a refund for a particular charge.
You can receive a chargeback as a result of many reasons, and you can respond to a chargeback to help resolve the issue. If you follow some simple advice, you can reduce the number of chargebacks that you receive.
Note:
The right to reclaim your funds in response to a chargeback must be exercised within 14 days. You will forfeit your right to reclaim chargeback funds if you do not respond to a chargeback, but the customer’s money will be returned to him and will be used for future purchases.
US users of PayPal are subjected to a $15.00 dispute fee per transaction that is deducted from their account. When you meet certain criteria, you will be able to pay the fees associated with High Volume Disputes.
There is more information about chargebacks on the PayPal website.
View reports
It is possible to view reports from the dashboard or you can download the report as a CSV file and see the itemized details of the transactions.
View United States sales taxes
The tax rate varies depending on the region in which you live. If you are not sure if taxes should be included in your charges, it is best to get in touch with a qualified accountant.
At the time of check out, the purchaser will be able to see the amount of tax that needs to be collected, if taxes need to be collected. The tax will be collected and remitted by OnZoom on your behalf.
In the transaction fees section of your PayPal business account dashboard, the amount of sales tax collected will be displayed as the Partner Fee.
How to follow the PayPal payout schedule
OnZoom events are usually able to pay out according to the following schedule:
- Event: Receive payment within 3-21 days following the end of the event.
- The first event of the series is completed and you will receive payment 3-21 days after the first event has been completed.
Note:
Generally, PayPal may hold the Host’s pending balance for up to 21 days when there is a hold on a new merchant account, and this can happen for a variety of reasons.
Taking care of our customers is important to Zoom, and we strive to provide them with as much assistance as we can. PayPal is able to deal with some issues, such as delayed funds, but there are limitations and there will be some instances where PayPal needs to step in. In order to resolve your payment issue, please contact PayPal customer support.
