PaySchools
PaySchools provides schools with an easy and efficient method to collect fees and receive payment by electronic check or credit cards for school lunches, field trips, registration, prom tickets, T-shrits, and anything else related to your schools. PaySchools makes it possible for all schools to offer the convenience of online purchasing without incurring the costs associated with the setup and maintenance of their own merchant accounts.
How It Works
Parents access PaySchools through a link on the home page of their school district’s Website. They select the items they want to purchase and then pay for them using credit cards or electronic checks. The payments are automatically processed, and the money is transferred to the school’s bank account.
