Collecting Enrolment Fees via Paypal

Connecting your MyWaitlist Account to PayPal will enable you to collect fees and automate the enrolment process. For example confirmation emails will be sent as soon as an enrolment fee has been cleared by PayPal. This avoids the need to check a bank account for money received and then manually sending a confirmation email. You can use your PayPal account to charge:

1. Waitlist Registration Fee –
   requests will automatically be accepted once payment is made
   
   See here for information about collecting a waitlist registration fee.
   
   
2. Enrolment fees such as bonds, security deposits and advance payments –
   offers will automatically be confirmed once payment is made
