Managing monthly recurring collection across k-12 schools is one of the most time-intensive tasks for finance teams. Worldline is one of the most reliable payment gateways for Belgium 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.
