Online-Gebühreneinzug mit Stripe für Hochschulen
Collect college fees online using Stripe — tuition, hostel, exam fees, and more — automatically reconciled with student records in OpenEduCat.
Managing annual and installment billing across colleges is one of the most time-intensive tasks for finance teams. Stripe is one of the most reliable payment gateways for United States 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.

Häufig gestellte Fragen

OpenEduCat has a built-in Stripe integration. You enter your Stripe API keys (publishable key and secret key) in the Payment Gateway settings page. The integration supports both Stripe's standard checkout and hosted payment links. No custom code or third-party plugin is required.
What fees can Colleges collect through Stripe in OpenEduCat?
All fee types are supported: Course / Program Fee, Registration Fee, Lab & Equipment, Hostel Fee, Placement Services, Certificate & Diploma Issue. Each fee head is configured separately in OpenEduCat so finance teams can run reports by fee category, batch, department, or academic period.
How long does it take for Stripe payments to settle?
Stripe settles funds in 2 business days. OpenEduCat marks the student's account paid as soon as Stripe confirms the transaction — you don't need to wait for settlement to update the student's fee status.
Is it safe to collect college fees through Stripe?
Yes. Stripe is PCI DSS Level 1 certified — the highest certification level in the payment industry. OpenEduCat uses Stripe's tokenization and hosted fields, so sensitive card data never passes through or is stored on your institution's servers.

How does Stripe handle installment payments for annual college fees?
OpenEduCat's fee management module lets you create installment schedules (e.g., 50% at enrollment, 50% at semester start). Each installment generates a separate payment link via Stripe. Stripe Billing can also automate recurring installment collection once a student authorizes the mandate. Finance staff get a real-time view of which installments are paid and which are pending.
