UW-Madison E-Payment Processing Service (E-Pay)

E-Pay allows departments on campus to develop storefronts on the internet and receive credit card payments 24 hours a day, 7 days a week using a stable, fast and secure server.

How E-Pay works:

  • The customer browses a merchant storefront and submits an order. The order information is passed along to CashNet's secure Web server where the customer enters their credit card information. CashNet processes the transaction and displays a confirmation or denial message.
  • The merchant gathers daily transaction information from the CashNet Administration web site. This information is used to perform daily reconciliation.
