Use the EZSchoolPay page to set up an EZSchoolPay account to sync with the district. The page appears as shown below:
Note that all of the fields are inactive; this is because the Sync Enabled box is unchecked. When you begin the setup process for your EZSchoolPay account, you will not be able to change any of the information on this screen because there is no account with which the information is synced.
To enable Syncing, check the Sync Enabled box. The screen will shift to look like this:
Note that all the fields are now active. You can set a Normal Maximum Credit, Transaction Upload Time, Parents' Link to Students, Sync Session, Sync School, and Sync Terminal. You can now also enter your District ID as it appears on your EZSchoolPay account.
There are also some areas of the section which are still uneditable. These bold-text areas list information that cannot be changed, such as the EZSP District Serial Number, which is automatically generated based on zip code, the Last Sync, Last Transaction Upload, Sync Job Scheduler, and Last Sync Status. These areas include information that is generated automatically, in relation to previous syncs.
You can also enable Extended Logging, which expands the amount of information that is logged during each sync, and include a Transaction History. Note that if the Include Transaction History box is unchecked, the Transaction Upload Time field will be inactive; a Transaction History is only uploaded once per day (at a specific time).
Click Save to keep the changes you've made. Click Refresh to regenerate the information on this screen; you might want to do this to check on the status of a sync in progress.
