How to integrate online payment systems in schools

Online payments at their peak

Today, technology is everywhere, all day, all the time. From waking up to a mobile alarm, driving guided by Google Maps, or communicating with family and friends through apps, technology constantly surrounds us.

Payments are no exception. The digital world has revolutionized and cemented the way we shop online from anywhere, in the blink of an eye. In fact, according to the 2022 B2C Online Shopping Report in Spain by Ontsi and red.es, "83.1% of Internet users made at least one online purchase in 2022, equating to 27.9 million buyers, nearly four percentage points higher than the previous year, which stood at 19.4%."

This trend continues to rise. It is anticipated that the value of the e-commerce market in Spain will exceed €65 billion by 2025, according to the 2022 “E-commerce Report Spain” by CBRE.

How Kydemy integrates an online payment system

In the digital era, offering online payment options to your customers is a highly valued feature and a competitive advantage.

For art schools and studios, which regularly receive payments for registrations, enrollments, classes, and more, providing students with the ability to pay from anywhere is invaluable.

That’s why Kydemy offers the option to integrate an online payment system directly into the management platform. Through our online payment providers, Kydemy acts as a payment gateway between your student and your school.

To enable online payments for students, as a school administrator, you’ll need to activate the online payment feature within the Kydemy platform.

Here’s how:

1. Go to the “Settings” section.
2. Navigate to the “Payments” tab.
3. Under “Online Payment Settings,” choose between our two payment providers: Stripe or PayPal.

This way, students or their family members can access and download receipts, track payments made, view outstanding balances, and pay with just one click. Meanwhile, administrators can access their online payments panel to download payment invoices, review records, and more.

Online payments are a key tool in today’s context. Thanks to their speed, security, immediacy, and convenience, they are one of the most appreciated features by clients. Therefore, if you own a school or studio, we encourage you to try it.
