Paying tuition: invoices, autopay, and payment methods

For parents: how to view and pay tuition invoices, turn on autopay (saving a card is not enough), and manage saved cards and bank accounts.

Last updated About 2 hours ago

Open Billing in the parent web portal for the selected school. Your center sets tuition, due dates, discounts, refund policy and which online payment options are available. Country, processor and school policy can limit card or bank payments.

Invoices and payments

Open Billing > Invoices, choose the invoice, and review its child, dates, line items, balance and current status. Use the payment action shown when online payment is available; confirm the amount and method before submitting. A pending payment is not proof of settlement. Check the resulting invoice and payment record before retrying to avoid duplicates.

The invoice detail provides a PDF. An invoice describes charges; it is not proof that those charges were paid. For payment receipts, open Billing > Payment history and use Receipt, or Email me this receipt when offered. Emailing a receipt is a separate action.

Payment methods

Open Billing > Payment methods. Use Add method, Set default, or Remove where available. Follow any bank-verification prompt. A saved method is not autopay authorization, and changing the default does not necessarily change an existing autopay selection.

Stripe handles online payment-method entry. Do not send your card details to the center or Support.

Autopay

  1. Open Billing > Autopay.

  2. Review the required billing authorization and select the method and settings offered for your account.

  3. Confirm Enable autopay, or use Update settings for an existing setup.

  4. Check the saved result and upcoming payment information.

Autopay has its own selected method. Saving a new card or setting a default does not prove autopay was enabled or updated. Use the page's cancellation action only when offered: drop-in accounts can be required to keep autopay active. Ask your center if that restriction prevents the change you need. Saving a replacement method does not prove an earlier failed charge was retried.

Contracts, aid and policies

If the center provides an agreement/detail link, open it to view or complete the supported contract steps. There is no general contracts list in the current web portal. Documents contains form PDFs; it is not a contracts browser.

Ask the center about subsidy amounts, corrections, split-payment arrangements or refunds, and review the invoice's applied aid. Check the current billing page for available payment dates; do not infer that a requested charge or refund has completed.

For promo codes, review the checkout discount and payment schedule before confirming. Follow the center's invoice or checkout instructions for cash/check delivery. If you suspect a duplicate charge, contact the center through Messages or support@bloomily.app before paying again.
