Online Payments in AUD

Azroy KandanLeave a comment

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). The currency can be set when configuring the Fee Tracking module under “Settings” > “Turn Features ON/OFF”:

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.
