Shop by Proxy

IBS 2.7 > Group Administrators: Academic Functions

Shop by Proxy

Some of our students do not have credit cards with which to purchase products online. To enable them to enroll in classes or purchase products, their GA can use the Shop by Proxy option. The GA uses his or her own credit card, acting as the "bill to" party who pays on behalf of a student. The student is still considered the "buyer". 

To use the Shop by Proxy option:

1. Go to Group Administrators > Academic > Students > Admissions/Financial Aid.
2. Locate the admitted student for whom you wish to shop, and in the Action column, click Shop by Proxy.
3. You will see the Sales Catalog page, with a notation that you are purchasing for the selected student. Proceed with the purchase as usual (see Guide to Using IBS 2.7 for detailed instructions.) 

You can View Proxy Orders using a link at the top of the Admissions/Financial Aid page, and can print a receipt of each proxy transaction. You can also initiate refunds, and any refund will be returned to your credit card.
