Set up automatic tuition payments

A 60-second screen recording of a real school doing exactly this — and the same 7 steps written out below, in the labels you'll see on screen.

How to set up automatic tuition payments

1Click Billing in the portal navigation bar
2Find the "Automatic payments" card near the top of the page
3Click "Set up automatic payments"
4On Stripe's hosted setup page, save a bank account or a card and authorize the payments
5Back on Billing the card reads "On" and names the account it will use — every invoice is then paid the day it's issued
6If a charge ever fails, an amber note at the top of Billing says what to fix
7Click "Turn off automatic payments" to go back to paying by hand

Put each family on a plan, run billing once a month, and let Stripe and automatic reminders do the collecting — families pay right in the portal.
