Access PaySuite DDCMS holds the database of all of your customers. Each customer contains their basic information including bank details, contact information and a history of payments collected. Customers can be found using the CUSTOMERS tab and the CONTRACTS tab on Access PaySuite DDCMS.
​
If your customer has a current payment schedule whether that be adhoc or regular, it is held as the contract within the customer. The contract is the Direct Debit instruction and is where the Bank/Direct Debit Ref is held which is what is used when collecting payments from your customer. Contracts can be located using the CONTRACTS tab.
​
Contracts sit inside of the customer and it is possible for a customer to have multiple contracts running alongside each other concurrently.

πŸ“ŒNote: If a customer has been created without a contract, you will be able to search for them within the CUSTOMERS tab ensuring that the Customer has Contract: search field is selected as No.
