Take a card payment
What you'll do
You will use three different screens. Student Payments charges a card online. The student profile Records an offline payment. Guest drive links are sent from Office drives, not from the Payments tab.
Let the family pay online
The student opens Payments and chooses Make a payment. That starts card checkout (Stripe or QuickBooks, depending on what the school connected). In the mobile app, checkout opens in the device browser, not inside the app.
Record cash or a check at the desk
On the student profile, open the Payments tab. Payment actions are Update Payment Information, Charge Fine, and Record Payment. Record Payment is for cash, check, credit card, debit card, or bank transfer already collected at school. It does not run a new Stripe charge.
Send a guest drive payment link
For a guest or add-on drive invoice, staff use Office drives (assistant drives). Charge guest or Send payment link creates a checkout the payer can open without a DriversEdPro account.
Connect the processor once
Owners connect Stripe or QuickBooks in school setup, or later under Admin Tools → Payments. Refunds for card charges are processed there, not with a Refund button on the student Payments tab.
Tip
Mark fines paid on the Payments tab so scheduling is not stuck waiting for an unpaid fine.
