E-Commerce Kerri Mills Student Activities Office W20-549

What is E-Commerce? The Merchant Services Group through the office of the Vice President for Finance offers online credit card payment processing. This allows student groups to sell items (tickets, conference registration, etc) through the Cybersource system. Customers will be able to pay for tickets, conference fees etc. directly on a secure website for your group. Student groups may not enter into agreements with outside vendors or organizations to sell items on the web.
