Governmental ePayment vs. Standard eCommerce
|
|
|
The requirements of a governmental e-Payment system, designed to facilitate the online payment of various government taxes and fees, are quite different then those of a traditional eCommerce system.
|
|
|
While traditional eCommerce systems are concerned with the sale of tangible products, a governmental ePayment system is mainly concerned with the sale of governmental services represented by personalized electronic payment slips - for the payment of car registration renewal fees, council tax or income tax, land registry information fees, etc. Payment slips are often generated online, on-the-fly.
|
|
|
The problems with existing solutions
|
|
|
Existing eCommerce solutions are not suited to governments’ needs for several reasons:
|
|
They are concerned mainly with the management of product catalogs and inventories, which is of little interest to governments.
|
|
They do not support for the on-the-fly generation of personalized payment items (electronic slips).
|
|
They do not support integration with various back-end systems, which are the main requirements of a governmental e-Payment server.
|
|
|
|
The Gpay Solution
|
|
The solution is built using key elements of Microsoft CSP (Citizen Service Platform), like Microsoft Commerce Server.
Gpay is designed specifically for governments:
|
|
It supports the easy generation of personalized payment items - based on either information provided by the user, information provided by various government backend systems, or both.
|
|
It tightly integrates with various governmental back-end systems in order to obtain payment details and report back the payments made, using either batch file transfer or online Web Services.
|
|
It is designed for both individual citizens and corporations. For example, it supports a variety of payment methods, including credit card and direct bank transfer.
|
|
|
|
Out-of-the-box or completely customized
|
|
|
Gpay is a complete, pre-packed solution. It can be easily deployed out of the box, with the necessary customizations being carried out using the deployment wizard.
|
|
|
Gpay can also be extended or be used as an SDK, on top of which a customized governmental ePayment solution may be built for a specific, advanced need.

|
