There are three options to consider when adding a fee to a family account: New Tuition, Recurring, or One Time Fees.
New Tuition or Recurring Fees - Once set up, a New Tuition or Recurring Fee is automatically invoiced to a family on their invoice date. Examples of these fees include:
- Weekly or monthly child tuition.
- Monthly supply or meal fees.
One Time Fee - This fee is charged only once, either at the time of the Payer's regular invoicing or immediately upon request. Examples of One Time fees include:
- A fee for a field trip.
- A fee for children's photos.
