Import of user fine/fee payment updates to Alma is available only via the User API method. However, any export method may be used with the payment update import process. Updates to user accounts are made on a per user basis. With PeopleSoft it is possible to utilize a reporting query or a query by an external script to retrieve fine/fee payment data for specific users.

Requirements: Pay User Fines / Fees API, Export User Blocks, Users API, CashNet "SmartPay"

- Analytics data only available once a day (for export to PeopleSoft). Ex Libris enhancement request: Retrieve user accounts from Users API via fine amount?
- Removing Blocks/Holds in PeopleSoft remain manual; fine amount owed not available in PeopleSoft (necessarily) - if using Analytics API export, however, this could be available in PeopleSoft, once a day.
- Need more information about CashNet portal setup (Christian Ward (Sacramento) is researching)
- Info from Christian: Requires CashNet add-on called "Smart Pay" used to build a "Storefront" web application. Sacramento's parking services is using this type of integration with a third party parking tickets application that enables guests and campus users to pay citations through CashNet. We may be able to work with CashNet to create an interface that all campuses could use but would need the CO to help with that. It may be more efficient to straight into CashNet without using the unique account page, but that would be worked out with CashNet. See Information re: Parking Fine Payment @ Sac State
- Need to research any differences in approach for campuses using PayPal (e.g., Pomona) OR whether all CSUs using PayPal could move to CashNet for this integration.
