Frequently Asked Questions
How does Nuvei connect to OpenEduCat's fee management module?
OpenEduCat has a built-in Nuvei integration. You enter your Nuvei API keys (publishable key and secret key) in the Payment Gateway settings page. The integration supports both Nuvei's standard checkout and hosted payment links. No custom code or third-party plugin is required.
What fees can Universities collect through Nuvei in OpenEduCat?
All fee types are supported: Tuition Fee, Hostel & Dining, Examination Fee, Library & Lab Fee, International Student Services, Alumni & Club Memberships. 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 Nuvei payments to settle?
Nuvei settles funds in T+1 to T+3; next-day available. OpenEduCat marks the student's account paid as soon as Nuvei confirms the transaction — you don't need to wait for settlement to update the student's fee status.
Is it safe to collect university fees through Nuvei?
Yes. Nuvei is PCI DSS Level 1 certified — the highest certification level in the payment industry. OpenEduCat uses Nuvei's tokenization and hosted fields, so sensitive card data never passes through or is stored on your institution's servers. Every transaction includes a full audit trail accessible from the OpenEduCat finance dashboard.
How does Nuvei's network tokenization reduce failed recurring tuition payments?
When a student's card is replaced (expired, reissued, upgraded), traditional gateways fail the next recurring charge until the student manually updates their card. Nuvei's network tokenization automatically updates card credentials when issuers update them — without the student doing anything. For universities with thousands of students on recurring tuition plans, this eliminates a significant source of payment failures at the start of each semester. Authorization rates on recurring charges improve by 10–20% compared to non-tokenized systems.
