NAB Transact is the default payment gateway used by Synergetic to securely store online payment and credit card details.
Note: For further information, visit the NAB Transact website.
You can configure the Community Portal to process online payments using NAB Transact by:
- processing test online payment data to ensure the NAB Transact gateway is operating correctly.
- enabling live payments to allow Community Portal users to make online payments.
