School fees

Automate school fee collection. Know who has paid.

A parent pays online at night, and SchooWare puts the payment against her child’s bill, so nobody chases a bank slip.

Fee structures, billing, online payments and refunds are live today

What it costs to leave it

Fees collected by hand: the books never know.

The bursar

Every bill, typed one at a time.

The same fee is keyed in for every child. One wrong amount goes home in a school bag.

Fees and finance
The parent

A parent pays at the bank, then has to prove it.

She sends a photo of the slip and waits. Nobody says it was seen.

Online payments
The school owner

The owner asks who still owes. Nobody can say.

The answer sits in bank statements and one laptop’s sheet, already out of date.

For school owners

How it is solved

Set the fee once. Every payment finds its bill.

  1. Set the fees for the term or semester

    Fee items and amounts, by session, term or semester, class or section.

    The bursar
  2. Raise the bills for a whole class

    Point the fee at class arms. SchooWare says which bills it could not raise, and why.

    The bursar
  3. Parents pay online

    On the web or the app, through the school’s payment gateway.

    The parent
  4. See who has paid

    Balances, payments and reversals in one report.

Questions

What bursars ask.

Do parents still have to send a bank slip?
Not when they pay online. The payment lands against its bill, so there is no slip to chase.
Which payment gateway do parents pay through?
The one your school has an account with, on the web or in the app.
Can fees be paid in instalments?
Yes, where the school allows part payments; the bill shows what is still outstanding.
Can one person move money on their own?
No. A refund needs two approvals, and payments and reversals go to the audit trail.
