How it works

Compulsory payments are required fees that families must pay (e.g., tuition, mandatory activity fees).

Voluntary payments are optional contributions that families can choose to make (e.g., donations, fundraising, optional trip costs).

Where this appears

Currently, the payment requirement setting is used in:

• Report filtering - Filter reports to show only voluntary or compulsory payments
• Aged receivables report - Compulsory payments are shown by aging period, with voluntary payments displayed separately in their own column

Note: This setting is not currently visible to caregivers when viewing or making payments.

Coming soon

We're expanding how this setting works across the platform. This article will be updated as new features become available.
