تحصيل الرسوم إلكترونياً عبر DPO Pay لـالمدارس المهنية

Collect vocational school fees online using DPO Pay — tuition, hostel, exam fees, and more — automatically reconciled with student records in OpenEduCat.

Managing per-course flexible billing across vocational schools is one of the most time-intensive tasks for finance teams. DPO Pay is one of the most reliable payment gateways for Kenya institutions — and OpenEduCat's fee management module connects to it natively. When a student pays online, OpenEduCat marks the invoice paid, posts to the general ledger, and sends a receipt — with zero manual intervention.
