Registration Payment Plans

(Keyword: registration, payment plans, methods, payments, plan, customize).

Some parents can fully pay your registration fee all at once, but others cannot or would prefer to break the payment into smaller chunks. That's why we've created the payment plan that best fits you!

Also, taking payment plans on your own can be a real hassle. You have to constantly get in touch with parents about payment dates and then collect cash or checks as payment on an inconsistent schedule.

AfterSchool HQ payment plans make it easier for you and the parents. You can add the option to enable parents to pay all at once or break up payments onto your preferred schedule. When parents check out and select the payment plan option, AfterSchool HQ will store the parent's payment information and automatically charge it according to the schedule you set up.

Step 2. Then click on the Manage  button next to the associated activity.

Step 3. Then click on the Setup button from the top navigation bar.

Step 4. Select Pricing & Payment from the right.

If you are creating a new activity, go through the step-by-step process of creating your activity until you get to the Pricing & Payment screen.

Important: Coupons cannot be used for payment plans. They can only be used for registration fees.

• You can now customize your Registration Payment Plan by selecting the Payment Amount, Payment frequency (Every Month, Every Week, or Every Two Weeks), and number of Payments. 
• Lastly, you can select from the drop-down list when you would like the payments to begin. You can choose from "When the Activity Starts", which will begin payments on the first day of the scheduled activity, or at Checkout so you can collect the first payment during the registration process. 

Once finished, don't forget to Save!

Please note that coupons do not work with payment plans.

Parents will now be able to select the Payment Plan Option when signing up for your activity.

You can now rest knowing that AfterSchool HQ will handle all charges going forward. We also handle issues where the payment method fails without the need for you to intervene.
