Payment plan with siblings discount for 'after school club'
If before or after school club is part of your school, it is required of you to collect attendance fees from students attending the club.
To simplify the administration of collecting these monthly fees follow these instructions on how to create a school club payment plan and its modification (siblings discount).
The payment plans are generaly created in the "Payments" module. You can find it in the "Communication" section in the left menu. Log in as the administrator or a user with rights to the "Payments" module. You can create payment plans for all users in the school.
Select the "Payment plans" tab in the top menu. Click on the '+ Add payment plan' button.

The payers will also see payments they have already paid. The information is accessible in their EduPage account and EduPage mobile application.
