ShopWithScrip.com is Great Lakes Scrip Center's free web application to help our scrip clients manage their scrip programs. Families like ShopWithScrip.com because they can securely order scrip any time day or night, from any internet-connected computer. Now families can also pay for their scrip online with PrestoPay™.
PrestoPay™ is NOT a credit card based system - it's better. PrestoPay™ uses the safe, reliable NACHA electronic fund transfer system. Your families enter their checking account information one time in a secure environment. After the account is verified, your families can choose to have their scrip payments electronically deducted from their checking accounts when they order. When you aggregate their orders and upload them to us, we will debit your organization account for the amount of the order, minus any payments your families have made to us. The system is safe, secure and convenient.
PrestoPay™ will only be offered to your families if you choose to do so. The only requirement for using ShopWithScrip and PrestoPay™ is that your organization must use the ACH/electronic payment system at GLSC. If you're already using ACH, you can begin offering PrestoPay™ to your families in minutes.
