Collexo presently supports five distinct Fee Types within its workflow, designed to address a variety of use cases effectively. One of the fee types is "Applicant-Wise Uploaded Amount."
Applicant-Wise Uploaded Amount
This fee type allows you to configure a specific amount for each applicant on the records added. The applicants will pay according to the amount assigned to their individual record.
Means, If you need to collect a unique fee from each student, select the "Applicant-Wise Uploaded Amount" fee type while creating a workflow. This means that the specific amount added for each applicant during the record creation will be displayed on their checkout page for payment.
How does Applicant-Wise Upload Amount Work?
While creating a new workflow, you need to specify the fee type, which will adjust the subsequent fields and requirements accordingly. If “Collect Fee Type” is selected as Applicant-wise Uploaded Amount, make sure to define the following fields:
- Select Currency: Choose from 10 available currencies. While selecting currency make sure the selected currency is supported by the Payment Gateway that you will be using.
- Fee Configuration: Choose a fee head from the dropdown list. All available Amount fields created under "Amount Fields > Manage Fields" will be displayed in this dropdown.
- Enable Surcharge: This is a toggle button. When enabled, you can add surcharges from the Condition Summary Page after clicking the "Save Condition" button.
On the Condition Summary Page, you will find two input fields:
-
Select Surcharge
- The dropdown for this field will pull options from the "Manage Fee Head" > "Surcharge Fee Head" section. Any surcharge created there will appear here. Additionally, the "Manage Fields" > "Amount Fields" > "Amount Surcharge" section will also provide options that will reflect in this dropdown.
-
Applicable On
- The dropdown values for this field will change based on the selected surcharge. For more details, refer to this article.
How is Applicant-Wise Uploaded Amount different from Amount Based?
The "Applicant-Wise Uploaded Amount" and "Amount Based" options both collect the specified amount entered in the applicant profile at the time of applicant creation (via Applicant Data > Applicant Records > Add Applicant).
- Amount Based (Fee Connect): When "Amount Based" is selected as the Payment Channel during Fee Connect creation, all applicants must pay the exact amount specified in their profile upon creation. This setting does not allow for any conditional adjustments; the amount is fixed per applicant.
- Applicant-Wise Uploaded Amount (Workflow): In contrast, selecting "Applicant-Wise Uploaded Amount" as the workflow option allows for conditional adjustments in Fee Connect. For example, if a condition is set such as “Category equals to General”, only applicants in that category will see the specific amount assigned to them during profile creation at checkout. This allows for flexibility, so each applicant’s payment amount can vary based on predefined conditions.
