Four quick scenes: enroll, add-on drive, guest pay, then refund or fine. Money always routes student → Stripe (2.9% + $0.30) → school.
Enrollment
Checkout is part of getting a student into your program, not a separate billing tool they have to chase later.
Tuition, deposits, or installments at enrollment. Card checkout runs on Stripe Connect so funds go to your school account.
Paid enrollments open classroom seats, self paced modules, and behind-the-wheel booking under the rules you set.
Extra drives, makeup lessons, guest invoices, refunds, and late cancel fines post to the same student payment history.
Direct to school
Student charges run through Stripe Connect on your school. DriversEdPro handles the checkout experience. Your connected account receives the payment.

What is included
One payment surface for the charges driving schools collect most often, with room for pay-at-school when you need it.
Curriculum packages, add-on drives, makeups, and guest invoices use the same card flow families already trust.
Payments settle to your connected Stripe account. DriversEdPro routes the charge. Your school receives the funds.
Parents or walk-ins can pay a drive invoice by link. No full student login required for one-off charges.
Issue refunds on the original charge, collect late cancel fines, and keep every line item on the student ledger.
Optional rule: unpaid balances block the next drive until the family pays. Turn it off for cash or employer billing.
Cards are tokenized by Stripe. DriversEdPro never stores full card numbers in your school database.
Questions
What schools ask before turning on online checkout.
Families pay at enrollment and later for add-on services through Stripe checkout. Charges run on your school's Stripe Connect account so tuition, drives, and fines settle to you, not to a shared DriversEdPro wallet.
Yes. Student card payments are processed to your connected Stripe account. DriversEdPro can take a platform enrollment fee where configured, but student tuition and service charges are directed to the school.
Curriculum and tuition packages, payment plans, add-on and makeup drives, guest drive invoices, and policy fines such as late cancellations. Staff can also record cash or check payments when a school takes money at the desk.
Yes. Guest payment links cover one-off drive invoices and similar charges so a parent or visitor can pay by card without full enrollment.
Refunds can be issued against a paid charge and show on the student ledger. Late cancel and retake fines can be charged online or marked paid when collected in person.
Most online checkout schools use Stripe Connect. Schools can also use QuickBooks Payments or run manual / pay-at-school mode with no in-app card charges. The processor is chosen during billing setup.
