Running a school effectively means managing every dollar. But if fees and payments aren’t clear, it becomes harder to plan, budget, and keep everyone aligned.

Today’s update brings three improvements designed to simplify that picture:

• A new Billing Options panel allows you to set who pays processing fees, choose between automatic and manual invoice collection, and define default due dates. When families pay fees, they see the processing fee clearly during checkout and on invoices.
• Reports, exports, and dashboards now display both Processing Fee and Net to School columns.
• You can now create Custom Invoices with multiple line items for a single student, which is linked automatically to their account and billing history.

Together, these changes make billing easier to trust and easier to manage. You get a stable view of what your school actually keeps, families see accurate charges before they pay, and one-off items no longer require entire subscriptions.

It’s a cleaner system that reduces admin time and fits the day-to-day rhythm of a small learning community.
