Barcoding

Barcoding is an ideal solution for quarterly bills and for one-off payments such as parking fines, sundry debt, housing rent arrears or municipal hire charges. If an organisation is looking to cover payments for long-term regular amounts the system can be easily adapted to do this too.

Barcoded bills from allpay.net are accepted at all UK PayPoint outlets and Post Office™ branches and can also be paid over the telephone using allpay.net's IVR system. This offers clients' customers choice and convenience around the clock as to when and how they wish to pay.

allpay.net offers barcoded billing either as a stand alone service or as a complement to a swipe card based payment solution and can be tailored to meet the individual needs of an organisation. Services range from actual barcode generation through to printing and despatch in addition to standard consolidation services for the funds collected.
