Everything TEFA covers

How Pax Ministries gets paid

Families order and pay through the Odyssey Marketplace. Here's what happens on the provider's side, from TEFA's official rules. ChoicePaid doesn't handle payments.

  • Approved vendors are paid by ACH through Stripe. Connect a Stripe account under Payment Set Up in the vendor portal before your first order.2
  • When a family orders, confirm (or cancel) the order in the vendor portal. After confirming, contact the family within 48 hours.3
  • Payment runs on net-30 terms, and the 30 days don't start until you enter a tracking number (products) or a receipt or confirmation number (services). If your system doesn't generate one, Odyssey says to enter the date and time you delivered the service.4

Before you book

  1. 1Check that Pax Ministries has an approved offering for what you need in the Odyssey Marketplace. Being on the list doesn't mean every service is approved.
  2. 2Ask what's included, the total price and any fees before you commit.
  3. 3Ask how they'll bill: through the Odyssey Marketplace or another way. The TEFA guide explains the rules.
