Collecte des Frais en Ligne avec Stripe pour Écoles Internationales

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

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 parent pays online, OpenEduCat marks the invoice paid, posts to the general ledger, and sends a receipt — with zero manual intervention.
