Payments tuned for childcare & daycare
Payment friction at Childcare & Daycare usually shows up long before anyone reads the monthly statement. That matches what we hear: auto-billed tuition.
Payment friction at Childcare & Daycare usually shows up long before anyone reads the monthly statement. That matches what we hear: auto-billed tuition and secure saved cards, so parents are never late and you are never chasing. The usual break points are recurring billing that is clumsy or quietly drops saved cards and chasing invoices and waiting on checks to clear. We configure recurring & saved cards with interchange-plus pricing you can verify, plus dues & memberships when you need it.
