Add a Credit

There may be times when you want to add a one-time credit to a family's account. This credit is applied to a specific Billing Profile within the Family Account and immediately reduces the overall account balance. Once the credit is added, it appears in the Ledger Transactions section under the Transactions tab. Once a credit is added, it cannot be removed or changed. Below are some common reasons for adding a one-time credit to a family account:

  • A family balance needs to be adjusted for any overpayment.
  • You may run a promotion and offer a one-time credit as an incentive to families.
  • A child will be absent for an extended period, and you need to adjust the family account balance.
