Online Payments
Working alongside our other features, SchoolBuddy links online payments with events & bookings, and can be used for all types of school payments.
SchoolsBuddy’s school payments software offers more flexibility than a standalone payments provider.
Linked to the bookings and activities managed within your SchoolsBuddy platform, online payments can be accepted from parents in over 100 countries for large and small items including wraparound care, tickets, sports kit, music lessons, activities, trips and more. Our online payments module includes built-in finance reporting.
