Fourwaves works with TouchNet and is listed in the TouchNet Ready Partner directory: event registration payments pass to TouchNet through the university’s uPay sites and settle in the university’s own merchant accounts. The finance office connects each uPay site once, with its TLink URL, uPay site URL and uPay site ID, then decides which departments can use it. Fourwaves never holds funds. Universities such as UBC and Dalhousie run their events on Fourwaves with their TouchNet gateway.
