Managing payments for school programs or camps just got easier with Lummio’s latest enhancement: Two-Part Payment Options. Designed to provide flexibility for parents and administrators, this feature simplifies registration by allowing program costs to be split into two manageable payments.
Flexible Payment Configuration for Administrators
As an administrator, enabling the Two-Part Payment option is straightforward. With just a few clicks during session configuration, you can allow parents to pay 50% of the program cost upfront and schedule the remaining payment for a pre-determined date. Here’s how it works:
- Enable Two-Part Payment: Check the box to activate the feature.
- Set First Payment Percentage: Customize the upfront payment amount (default is 50%).
- Schedule the Second Payment Date: Select the due date for the final payment.
Once configured, Lummio automatically handles the payment processing, ensuring smooth and timely transactions.
A Streamlined Experience for Parents
Parents registering for programs can now secure their child’s spot without the burden of paying the full amount upfront. At checkout, they can see a clear breakdown of the payment structure:
- Payment 1 of 2: Due immediately upon registration.
- Payment 2 of 2: Scheduled for a future date, with an automatic charge.
This transparent system includes notifications during registration, detailing the payment amounts and due dates to eliminate confusion.
Automated Payments and Notifications
Lummio’s integration with payment gateways ensures seamless transaction management. Parents are notified about:
- Successful initial payments.
- Scheduled second payments with reminders to keep their payment methods active.
The system also automatically updates registration statuses, transitioning from “Final Payment Due” to “Complete” once the second payment is processed.
Built for Convenience
Whether your school is managing summer camps, after-school programs, or special sessions, the Two-Part Payment option adds a layer of convenience and accessibility for families while streamlining administrative processes.
