Stripe and manual payments

Automate billing at your academy

Centralize recurring Stripe billing, manual payments, family pricing, and past-due membership follow-up.

Chasing students who don't pay, keeping accounts in Excel, not knowing who owes what... Manual payment management wastes time and causes stress.

The solution
