Pay parent contributions online with Payit

Every time again: hand out transfer forms to parents, manually check payments, send reminders to those who haven't paid yet. With Payit, that work disappears. Parents pay their school contribution online via one link, and you see straight away who's paid. Simple, fast and completely automatic.

Many schools still use transfer forms or paper files to collect parent contributions. Parents forget their form, the money goes to the wrong account number, or you lose track of who's paid and who hasn't. Your accountant has to follow everything up manually. This takes hours every month, especially at larger schools. Schools in Berlare, Lennik and other municipalities face the same challenge: how do you get payments made without paper and reminders eating up your time?

Online payment for parent contributions is no longer a luxury, but a necessity. Parents expect digital payment options, just like with banking or online shopping. Schools that don't offer this yet get questions about the account number, missed payments and administrative headaches. A modern payment system for schools saves you not only time, but also brings peace of mind.

With Payit you create an activity with the parent contribution in two minutes. You add the title (for example "Parent contribution 2024-2025"), the amount and any extra information. Then you generate a payment link or QR code which you send to parents via email or app. Parents click the link, enter their details and pay with Bancontact, Payconiq, Visa or Mastercard. Done. Sending payment links is now hassle-free, and you no longer need any paper.

The rest happens automatically. Payit sends parents a payment confirmation, you see exactly in the dashboard who's paid and who's still outstanding. Want to send reminders to parents who haven't paid yet? That's possible with the reminder module. Collect registration fees and contributions digitally also works for schools of Stedelijk Onderwijs Antwerpen and similar institutions. The payout to your school account happens automatically, you no longer need to manually transfer anything.

First: massive time savings. No more manual checking of transfers, no follow-up emails to parents who transferred money to the wrong number. One person can handle the school's household accounts in ten minutes. Second: fewer mistakes. Amounts are always correct, because parents no longer have to enter the amount themselves. Third: parents like to say that paying has become easier. They don't have to open their banking app anymore, just click the link you sent.

Your bookkeeping also becomes simple. All the money comes in at one time instead of spread over weeks. Online payments for schools also provide automatic export to your accounting software. Schools in Halle and Keerbergen have discovered that they've been able to reduce their administration by 70 percent. With Payit you don't pay a monthly fee if you stay under 25,000 euros revenue per year, which is enough for many schools.

You don't need any technical knowledge or lengthy setup. Register for free, add your school details and you can immediately create your first contribution activity. Online payment also works for youth organizations and other organizations that want to collect money. In your first month you can try everything out without paying anything. Many school boards notice in that first month that paperwork has disappeared and parents respond faster.

Payit helps schools, youth groups like Chirojeugd Vlaanderen, sports clubs and many other organizations collect money every day. No more lost transfer forms, no more questions about the account number, no more reminders you forget to send. Setting up online payments for your organization is the start of a much more relaxed administrative workflow. Try Payit free for 30 days and discover how simple it can be.
