Faculty & Staff

EMarket is a CashNet module that allows departments to collect money for approved services/products/fees via online storefronts and checkouts. Customers are linked out from a department website to a customized storefront where they can select and pay for items via credit card. The site is PCI compliant and funds can be automatically deposited to the general ledger.

Application - How it works:

Departments interested in using the eCommerce solutions are asked to complete a CSUF eMarket Site Request Form for an eMarket Storefront or checkout, which is located Forms tab above. The requested information includes:

• Type of payment to be collected
• Amount
• Funds, department ID
• Bank account where funds are to be deposited
• GL account where credit card interchange fees should be charged (if applicable)

The completed form is submitted to Student Business Services (College Park-200) for approval. If approved, a copy will be sent electronically to the Accounting Office to be assigned an account number. Student Business Services will notify the requesting department via email if their request is approved or denied.

How to Request an Operator ID

Department eMarket owners are required to complete a   CashNet Operator Request Form  located on the Faculty/Staff tab under the Student Business Services website. They will be given a CashNet Operator ID and password access CashNet's eMarket system. Privileges are dependent upon the Operator Group to which they are assigned.  

 

TYPES OF PRODUCTS/SERVICES IN EMARKET

Products/Services Allowed

Storefronts and checkouts may be used for a variety of approved products, services, or fees such as:

• Conferences
• Membership Fees
• Event Tickets
• Applications/Deposits
• Physical Goods
• Test Fees

Products/Services not Allowed

• eMarket is not intended for payments toward charges previously posted to a student's account in   PeopleSoft. Charges and payments, however, can be posted after the fact so it shows on the student account. This is called an autocharge.
• Fees charged to all students enrolled in a course are considered course fees and should be submitted to the Campus Fee advisory Committee for approval and subsequent posting to student's accounts. New fees of any type charged to students must be approved by the Campus Fee Advisory Committee.

 

EMARKET SETTINGS

Banner

A banner is a graphic at the top of your storefront page. Departments may use the same banner that appears on their CSUF website for their storefront. Checkouts are within the existing departmental web page, so they are much more customizable than a storefront. 

Item Codes & Reference (inventory and fulfillment)

All items within a store are tired to an "item code" which will include a print description of the item, the amount, and the GL account code where the payment will be deposited. Additional information can be collected for each item such as name, address, email, etc... of the buyer. These are called "Reference fields" and can be required or optional. 

Categories

If there are several products/services offered within a store, they can be organized into categories so customers can find them easier. An example might be a category of "Tickets" and within that category are several types of tickets available for sale. 

Refunds

Department storefront owners with refund rights can process refunds for payments made through their eMarket storefront/checkout. The refund is made directly to the credit card used and partial refunds are allowed. For help with refunds for eMarket transactions please email emarket@fullerton.edu.

Reports

Department users can run reports on the payment activity within their storefront. Reports are based on the combination of selected criteria such as date range, transaction type, item code, amount, or GL account code. Reports may be run in summary or detail mode and formatting using Excel, Word of PDF. EMarket also offers the option to email a report in any of these formats. 

Cost to Departments

The cost to departments for using eMarket is the interchange rate assessed by the banks for processing Visa, Mastercard, AMEX, and Discover credit card transactions. At the time of this writing, the maximum interchange rate is approximately 2.65% of the total transaction in the storefront. The department will be charged for these fees by Accounting Services or can choose to pass on the fees to the customer.

The Student Business Services Office does not charge departments for the setup of the storefront at this time.
