Comprehensive Features of RevTrak’s Payment System

Centralized Payment Processing

School fee payment platforms that don’t offer centralized payment processing cause frustration as families have to pay different fees in different places. This takes up time and makes the entire process more difficult not only for those families, but also for your staff. RevTrak eliminates those headaches by bringing all fee payments together in one place, streamlining the process so families can navigate it more easily and staff spends less time on processing.

Multiple Payment Methods Accepted

RevTrak allows you to accept payments for school fees via multiple payment methods, including credit card, ACH transfer, digital wallet and check. By providing multiple options for families to pay, our platform helps you collect payments and avoid hassles with families who need to pay using a specific method.

Integration with Student Information Systems (SIS)

An integrated tech stack is vital for schools in order to save time, increase efficiency and accomplish everything they need to do to set students up for success. RevTrak is built to integrate seamlessly with leading Student Information Systems tools, allowing you to connect the different components and resources you use to keep your district running smoothly on a daily basis.

Real-Time Financial Reporting

Real-time financial data is an important tool for the administrative team in any district. You need to be able to pull reports, reconcile data and know exact figures in order to make key decisions and with RevTrak, you can – all in mere minutes. Compared to other reporting tools, you’ll spend a fraction of the time on pulling the information you need to make informed, well-supported decisions.

Benefits of Implementing RevTrak in Educational Institutions

Streamlined Administrative Operations

Administrative staff always have a lot on their place, which means saving time is hugely beneficial. Schools that implement RevTrak are able to cut hours off their normal time for admin work, which frees staff up to focus more of their time and energy on tasks and projects that help drive student success and elevate the entire district.

Enhanced Parent and Guardian Engagement

Communication and engagement with parents and guardians can be tough. Not every parent or guardian communicates well or is actively involved with their child’s school life on a daily basis, but RevTrak’s communication and connection tools help your district communicate easily and effectively, increasing the likelihood of these families playing a more active role in what’s going in with their child in the classroom, cafetera, school club or sports team.

Increased Financial Transparency and Compliance

Keeping in compliance with local, state and federal rules and regulations is a must for schools, so RevTrak helps you more readily follow these steps and procedures. It also empowers you to be as transparent as possible with your finances, which increases confidence for families and your school community while also building trust in your district’s staff and how it handles its finances.
