EZPayments Launches in the UK

EZFacility is delighted to announce the launch of our next-generation payment processing solution, EZPayments, in the United Kingdom. With the deadline for Strong Customer Authentication just around the corner on 14th March 2022, we’ve leveraged the newest technology to give you the most secure and seamless way to process payments.

In addition to complying with the latest security standards, EZPayments integrates with your EZFacility software to make it easier than ever to track and manage your payments. This allows businesses to streamline payment processing while guaranteeing security and improving the customer experience—all for a competitive rate.

Currently, EZPayments is only available in the United Kingdom. To learn more about switching to EZPayments, please contact our team today. 

What Is Strong Customer Authentication?

On 14th March 2022, the way businesses process e-commerce payments will change. New rules, referred to as Strong Customer Authentication (SCA), will enhance payment security and limit fraud through a mandatory authentication process.

The rules will apply whenever a payer:

• initiates an electronic payment transaction 
• accesses their payment account online
• carries out any action remotely that may imply a risk of payment fraud, unless an exemption applies

Thanks to compliance with new SCA standards, EZPayments will offer EZFacility’s UK clients the safest, most secure way to process payments. 

Smartwaiver in the New EZFacility Experience

EZFacility’s integration withSmartwaiver is the latest feature to join the New EZFacility Experience. Now, users can manage digital membership documents, contracts, and waivers built with Smartwaiver from within EZFacility’s new user interface.

Groups in the New EZFacility Experience

Watch the webinar for a full tour of the new Groups features.

Get the Groups data you need—fast

When reviewing your list of Groups, you’ll now see the most important information first. We reduced the number of columns to provide the data you need without needing to scroll horizontally.

Standard data will include:

• Group Name
• Group Description
• Registration Balance
• Invoice Balance
• Total Subgroups

If you’d like to see additional data, you can hover over the convenient tooltip icon or customize your columns to display other information.

You’ll also find quick action icons that will allow you to send an email, edit, or delete your Group.  

View related Groups in a simplified grid

The new Related Groups grid will show all of the groups with a connection to the one you are viewing—including any parent, grandparent, child, grandchild, and other related Groups that exist. This comprehensive display allows you to more easily navigate your sub-Groups to manage settings and registrants. When viewing the grid, the current Group will be bolded.

Filter and search your Groups

We’ve re-built this popular feature from EZFacility Classic to give it an upgrade in the new user interface. Simply click the filter icon to build custom views that show active, upcoming, or completed Groups.

Easily navigate to the tools you need

Effortlessly locate the tools for Online Registration, Publish to Self-Service, Publish to EZLeagues in tabs across the top of the screen within each of your Groups. In addition, you’ll find tools to copy, export, and generate Groups in the Global Dropdown within the new EZFacility Experience.

Quickly create Groups and register clients

In the New EZFacility, any time you need to create or edit an object, a consistent side panel will appear with all the fields and settings you need. Following today’s release, you can expect the same experience when you create a new Group or register a client to one of your Groups. This consistency helps speed up day-to-day tasks, while also making it easier to train and onboard new staff.

How to access to the new Groups features

If you’ve already opted in to the New EZFacility Experience, you’ll see these new Groups features automatically. If you’d like to request access, please submit a support ticket.
