CheckOut by PayGo

YEC's new program CheckOut by PayGo allows our members to pay their electric bill conveniently at the counter of local retail locations like 7-Eleven, Dollar General, CVS Pharmacy, Walgreens, Family Dollar and other independent locations displaying the green ice cream cone! For the low cost of $1.50, ask the cashier to scan your PayGo barcode (see below for more on getting your barcode), tell them how much you'd like to pay, check out with your purchases and the payment will post to your account immediately.

CheckOut by PayGo FAQ
First, the YEC member obtains their unique barcode. The member can visit any participating local retailer to pay their bill. The cashier at the retailer scans the member’s barcode and accepts their payment. The member’s payment is posted in real-time to his or her account.
Payments made at participating retailers are applied in real time to the account balance.
A fee of $1.50 per transaction is charged to the member at the retail location when a payment is initiated.
Yes. All members will have their unique barcode printed on the back of their billing statement.
No. While the member has the ability to make multiple payments across member account numbers, they must have downloaded or printed the barcode for each of the individual accounts they wish to pay.
No. The retailer does not have access to the balance information. The member is required to tell the cashier at the retailer how much they want to pay.
At the time of the transaction, the retailer can cancel a payment prior to a receipt being generated. If a member requires a refund after the payment has been made, he or she will need to contact York Electric Cooperative.
The acceptance method is specified on the map of CheckOut retailers. The current retailers participating in the program accept both paper and digital, but it is possible for an individual retailer or even a new retailer to have legacy scanning equipment that can only accept printed barcodes. In this case, members would need to provide a printed copy.
Over 50,000 retailers participate in the network including Walmart, Dollar General, CVS, Walgreens, Speedway, 7-Eleven, and Family Dollar. Use this interactive map to find retailers in your area.
