Paying Mentor fees, Third Party payouts, and Agent Savings with Payment Processors
!!Important: Please read before proceeding. Third-party payments from payment processors CAN NOT BE REVERSED, so please make sure everything is correct before you finalize a payment.
Loft47 offers several options for processing payments and requesting funds. View set up and summary of each Integration; Zum Rails or Payload. In this article we will be using payload as the example but both workflows are the same.
There are different scenarios to consider, so please click on the scenario below to be redirected to the appropriate scenario and its instructions.
Follow Steps in the link above to create your Payable/Mentor fee deduction
Add deduction to the deal
In the deal's deduction page, the option will open up to pay directly
If the contact is correct, then click Pay Directly
If the contact is not correct, then click Change Payee to change
Confirm the email is correct
Click Pay
Confirmation will popup in a new modal window
Confirmation of the status of this transaction can also be found in your Integrations/Payload(Zum)/Transactions page
Agent’s payable to Organization
Please note, when you select your agent’s name and if they’re set up to be payable to their company name (org contact type) the name will default to the organization name when selected
Click Pay Directly in the deduction
Select the Recipient
Choose the recipient radio button where the agent with org has an active email address
Click Pay
Confirmation will popup in a new modal window
Confirmation of the status of this transaction can also be found in your Integrations/Payload(Zum)/Transactions page
Bank Account Not Setup
Agent paid as an Individual
Follow the same steps above by adding the deduction to the deal>making sure your payee is correct
Click the Pay Directly link
The Recipient will be already chosen, just make sure the email address is correct
Because you will never have the bank account information for Third Party Payables, you will always have to send the Payment Activation link when paying these entities out. Please refer to any of the above scenarios where no bank account information is available.
Agent Savings Account
The scenario: Your agent has a bank account setup in their profile but wants to send a portion of their commissions to another bank account. Because your agent’s Payload bank account is set up via their profile, there’s no way to toggle any additional bank accounts setup in that area.
!!Important Please read before proceeding: Third party paying from processors CAN NOT BE REVERSED, so please make sure everything is correct before you finalize a payment.
The current workaround to handle this scenario is as follows:
Add a profile type contact to your Brokerage's People page [0:00 - 1:57 in vid]
Create a Payable Type Deduction specifically for the savings fee [1:58 - 2:50 in vid]
The payee must be the contact you created above
Add the Savings Payable Deduction to your Agent's deal [3:00 - 3:13 in vid]
Adjust, if applicable, the newly added deduction [3:14 - 3:34]
Click Pay Directly [3:34 - 3:43 in vid]
Because this is a Third Party payout the recipient will be auto-selected
