Step 2 : How to Collect Registration Fees?

Please note that this step is optional. If you don't want to collect any registration fees, you can skip this step. 

Once you have created your registration form, you are ready to set up an automatic online registration fee collection system for all registrations. Your customers will have the ability to pay you immediately using debit or credit cards.

If you don't want to collect fees from your customers, set the option to 'No' (default) or skip this step and move on to step 3 - Landing Pages.  

To collect registration fees:

 Go to Registrations > open or select your registration form > go to step 2 'Collect Fees' and:

1. Toggle the collect registration fees option to 'Yes'

2. Enter the amount you'd like to collect for each registration

3. Enter a description for the fees

4. Set up your online payment account, set up Stripe, PayPal Business or both 

5. Update your fee collection terms and conditions

They can use a debit or credit card and the payment will arrive directly to your centre's PayPal business account.   

Important: 

If you choose to accept payments but do not activate a payment provider like PayPal, Stripe, or both to complete the setup process, your fee collection page will not be visible to parents, and they won't be able to make any payments.

To update registration fee terms and conditions, please use the editor to enter your desired content. You can customise the default content based on your centre's policies and requirements.

Your customers can now easily view terms, fees, and payment requirements before filling in the registration form. Below is an example of a registration form with fee collection enabled.
