Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) Roll-Out

Earlier this month, we announced our intent to enforce two-factor authentication (2FA) for all our schools. 

Earlier this week, QuickSchools added support for the Australian Dollar (AUD) on our Online Payments module via Stripe. So schools can now process credit card payments from students and parents in AUD via the various integrated modules (i.e. Fee Tracking, Admissions, Online Forms, Payment Plan, Lunch Ordering, etc).

If you don’t see your currency listed, and you’d like us to add support for your local currency, please contact our support team, and we’ll look into getting it added for you.
