    GENERAL INFORMATION: [ps2id id=’gen-1′ target=”/]

    – paying with Skidata loaded value is available as a single button payment
    – with this type of Loaded payment, we use Skidata “fake” money that have an expiry date
    – the payment works mainly with barcodes
    – for Loaded Value, expiration and validation date are checked to make sure that the card can be used. They’re defined in Skidata external portal
    – when Skidata Loaded Value payment is being made, Activate checks the ticket balance automatically. However, it is possible to check the balance manually using “Check Balance” button (read more in BALANCE CHECK section)

PAY WITH A FEW LOADED VALUE CARDS:  [ps2id id=’afew-1′ target=”/]

– imagine a situation, when your bill is $60, but you don’t have sufficient funds on 1 Skidata Loaded Value card. In this case, when paying $60 bill, the system will take, i.e.:
3 LOADED VALUE CARDS ASSIGNED TO ONE USER ID
1st card – $20
2nd card – $15
3rd card – $25

– If all cards are assigned to same user ID, the system will treat them equally and withdraw the needed amount from all cards.
