BillHighway

Overview

Billhighway is a cloud-based platform that helps non-profits and associations manage their finances by automating all areas of their financial life-cycle. GrowthZone manages membership application and renewals. Payment for new memberships and renewals trigger communication to Billhighway. In addition, GrowthZone notifies Billhighway of changes to a member's address information (full address, phone and/or email address).

Integration to Billhighway includes:

• Support of Billhighway as a payment gateway.
• Billhighway supports ACH/eCheck payments.
• GrowthZone synchronizes data that is normally done manually. GrowthZone receives data that is normally received through file download.

Setting Up Billhighway Integration

If you are new to Billhighway/GrowthZone integration, our team will assist you in ensuring the data in your GrowthZone is appropriately updated prior to performing the following setup steps.

Billhighway Payment Processor

The first step in setting up integration with Billhighway is configuring a payment processor for Billhighway. This provides the ability to process payments (dues and non-dues) with ACH and credit cards using Billhighway. See Setup Billhighway Payment Processor for instructions on setting up the payment gateway.

Membership Types for Billhighway Integration

When setting up Membership Types, you will select from the standard NAHB Membership types (Builder, Associate, Affiliate). See Adding a New Membership Type for instruction on creating your membership types.

Billhighway specific settings:

NAHB Membership Type: When creating your Membership types, the NAHB Membership Type selection is only available when you have enabled a Billhighway Gateway. If you are integrating to Billhigway, select the NAHB membership type. NOTE: Owned by should be set to organization for Builder or Associate NAHB Membership Type. Owned By should be set to Individual when selecting Affiliate NAHB Membership Type.

Billhighway specific Membership Policies settings
