Cost Allocation Models
Activating payment methods in GC involves additional costs, which can be charged in three different ways:
1. Paid by the Condominium
This is the most common model and is supported by all electronic payment services.
- The unit owner makes the payment.
- The amount is transferred to the account of the payment provider.
- After 2 to 3 business days, the provider transfers the amount to the condominium after deducting their fee.
2. Paid by the Property Management Company
In this model, the management company decides to cover the costs and offer the service to the condominium.
- The payment provider does not charge the condominium.
- At the end of the month, the provider sends an invoice to the management company for all services used.
⚠️ Not all providers support this model.
euPago supports this option for GC, but setup may take some time to be completed.
3. Paid by the Unit Owner
This model is useful when the condominium does not want to bear the costs, especially if only a few unit owners use the method.
- The condominium initially pays the cost to the provider (same as in model 1).
- Then, GC automatically creates an extra quota/charge to pass the cost to the unit owner who used the service.
✅ This process is fully automated within GC.
⚠️ Payment providers cannot charge only specific users, so the cost is handled internally by the software.
Conclusion
GC is flexible and supports all billing scenarios, allowing the administration to choose the most appropriate model for each condominium.
