Connect Stripe or QuickBooks

6 minUpdated August 2026For school owners

What you'll do

You will connect a processor during School setup or later in Admin Tools → Payments. Pay at school stays available as Record Payment.

  1. Choose a processor

    School setup → Payments lets you pick Stripe, QuickBooks, or Record at school. You can change this later under Admin Tools → Payments.

  2. Payment plan builder

    On the same Payments admin, set At enrollment (%), Per drive (%), and Final / completion (%). That is what gates Schedule Drive, not a lock named balance lock.

  3. Test before the first family

    Run one small online checkout as a test student, and Record Payment for a cash test, so the desk sees both flows. Refunds go through this Payments admin, not the student Payments tab.
