Q. How do I know the payment was accepted?
A. The RamMall will email you a confirmation receipt, including a transaction number, immediately after processing your transaction. If there is ever a question about a payment, the transaction number will allow us to verify the deposit to your family lunch account.

A. Yes. At the bottom of the payment screen you will have the option to View Cart and verify that you have entered your desired amount prior to completing a transaction. If you discover you have made an error, you will then have the ability to adjust the payment amount. Once a transaction has been processed, it is considered final.
Q. What if the credit card company does not approve the charge?
A. You will need to contact your card company for additional information.
Q. Why do I need to enter an email address?
A. Your email address serves multiple purposes. First, after each completed web store purchase, a confirmation email is sent to the email address you provide. Therefore you should provide a valid email address. Second, the email address you provide is used as your Web Store account login. With this login you may view previous purchases, edit your Web Store account information, and receive a password reminder. To easily view your purchase history, you should use the same email address for all purchases on this Web Store.
Q. What is my password?
A. You create a password of your own choosing. During your first online purchase, you will be prompted for your email address and a password you create. This password is not issued by the school. If you are a Returning Customer and you have forgotten your password, select Password Reminder from the menu on the left. If your email address is on file, your password will be emailed to you.
Q. Does the system store my credit card number?
A. No; for security reasons the system does not store your credit card number. The option to pay with a previously used card is made possible using securely encrypted tokens. The process of using secure tokens is an industry best practice in keeping with the stringent requirements of the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard.
Q. How do I reprint my receipt?
A. Choose My Account from the menu on the left. You will be prompted to enter your email address and password to access past receipts. Choose View Past Orders. Then open the correct order and print.
