Manage Charges for Check-outs/Renewals

Note:
If your library charges for renewals, and you are renewing an item for which overdue fines are charged, you can resolve both the renewal charge and the overdue fine.

To manage charges for check-outs and renewals in Leap

  1. Check out or renew an item for which a charge has been assigned for check-out or renewal in Polaris Administration.

The Patron Check-out Charge or Patron Renewal Charge dialog opens where you can manage the charge.

  1. If you want to change the amount that is paid, waived, or charged, modify the amount in the Charge box.

    Note:
    You can set fees to require a tax amount. For more information, search "goods and services tax" in the Polaris staff client help.

  2. Select one of the following buttons:
    • PAY - The area below the charge expands. If the amount paid is different than the amount charged, you can enter it in the Amount box. Select the payment method in the Method box. Then, select PAY.

      Note:
      If your library has enabled EnvisionWare or Comprise as the eCommerce payment gateway, and a credit card reader is attached to the workstation, you can accept credit card payments in Leap.

    • WAIVE - The charge is waived and the item is checked out.
    • CHARGE ACCOUNT - The charge is added to the patron's account, and the item is checked out.
