Pay a student balance

3 minUpdated August 2026For parents, students, school owners

What you'll do

You will open the balance, pay by card, or use a link someone else can pay. Booking can reopen the moment the balance clears.

  1. Open Payments

    Parents see the balance on their student. Students may see it too, depending on the school.

  2. Pay or share the link

    Pay with a card, or open the payment link and send it to anyone. Guest pay does not need an account.

  3. Check that booking reopened

    If the school uses balance locks, the next drive becomes bookable as soon as the payment posts.
