Collecte des Frais en Ligne avec DPO Pay pour Écoles K-12
Collect k-12 school fees online using DPO Pay — tuition, hostel, exam fees, and more — automatically reconciled with student records in OpenEduCat.
Managing monthly recurring collection across k-12 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 parent pays online, OpenEduCat marks the invoice paid, posts to the general ledger, and sends a receipt — with zero manual intervention.
