There is a final check box called ‘receive error emails’. When a transaction does not
complete then it is not necessary to receive a message about this in most cases. However
the hotspot owner might wish to be notified when an error condition occurs, for example if
the credit card is declined. The purchaser will also receive an email notification.
Once in operation, the hotspot billing system will be the ‘PoS’ of a business, such as an
Internet café. The hotspot owner will wish to produce accounts of the daily operations. A
complete transaction record is provided by the PayPal™ business account, and the
information can be downloaded and imported into popular accounting programs such as
Quickbooks™.
The GIS gateway also stores a report summary, described earlier in the section: Status
Functions: Billing Reports. An example of a billing report is shown on the following page.
This report can be downloaded in CSV (comma separated value) format and loaded into a
spreadsheet program such as Excel™.
A summary of transactions for the current day, previous day, current month and previous
month are presented at the top of the page.
The table rows itemize each transaction. The transaction ID code refers to the code
generated by the PayPal™ business account. The transaction ID permits the PayPal™
record to be located.
No credit card information is stored on the GIS gateway to comply with the Payment Card
Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS) requirements.
