Council Tax Direct Debit - v2.5

IMPORTANT - In this version of Council Tax Direct Debit, it is now possible to also support changes in payment method to support other payment methods. Therefore in the future this form will be known as the Change in Payment Method service.

From this release it is now possible to set up the previous Direct Debit service to also support other methods of payment.

This can be turned on and off using the following new setting:

WiderPaymentMethodsEnabled

When true the form will ask an additional question, which asks if the person would like to pay by Direct Debit. If they say Yes to this the form will behave EXACTLY the same as it did before:

If they say No then they will be presented with two new questions. 

• One to ask them their preferred payment method
• Another to ask them their preferred payment date

This is illustrated below:

The methods available and associated payment frequencies are customisable. You simply need to provide support/your project manager the details of them. 

Important Information

This is currently only available for Civica OpenRevenues customers but the development for Northgate and Capita will be done in the near future for parity.
