Intro

TouchNet Marketplace enables campuses to build and operate secure, web-based shopping cart applications and online payment pages. Marketplace includes three web-based applications: the Marketplace Universal Stores (uStores) shopping site, the Marketplace Universal Payment (uPay) site, and the Marketplace Operations Center administrative site. This document will provide an overview of uPay.

uPay

The uPay features of Marketplace allow departments to configure online payment pages that connect to existing department storefronts/web applications. uPay focuses only on the payment pages, and the department builds the storefront/product pages in the department system external to uPay. This web application then calls the uPay site when it’s time for a payment to be accepted. uPay allows site layout choices and images to maintain a consistent look and feel.
