PAYMENT COLLECTION

Collect tuition and fees online without the merchant-account headache

NavEd lets your micro school or co-op collect tuition, activity fees, and supply charges through a single payment link, no separate merchant account, no chasing down checks. Send the link, and see exactly who's paid at a glance.

Small schools and co-ops shouldn't need a full-time bookkeeper to collect school fees. NavEd's payment collection connects directly to Stripe so you can accept credit and debit cards the same day you set it up. Families click a link, pay in under a minute, and your dashboard updates instantly, no manual reconciliation, no spreadsheet rows to update.

Every payment is tracked against the family that made it, so at-a-glance status badges show you who's paid, who's pending, and who needs a reminder. Overdue fees surface automatically, and a single click sends a follow-up, cutting the 'did you get my check?' back-and-forth that eats up a co-op coordinator's afternoon.

  • One payment link — Generate a shareable checkout link for any fee, tuition, co-op dues, field trips, and send it by email or text. Families pay without creating an account.
  • At-a-glance fee tracking — A live dashboard shows every family's status, Paid, Pending, or Overdue, so you always know where collection stands without a spreadsheet.
  • Automated reminders — NavEd surfaces unpaid and unopened payment links so you can send a reminder in one click rather than tracking families down.
  • Direct Stripe payouts — Payments land in your school's bank account on Stripe's standard payout schedule, no middleman holding your tuition funds.
