  1. Online payments were introduced in the 05.70.1623.0601 version of Control so verify you are using that version or a newer version before proceeding (Help > About Control > Version).
  2. An active technical support contract is required.
  3. The online payments feature is currently only available to US Control users. We are working to expand this feature to Canadian Control users in the near future.
