Introducing myPayment – A Smarter Way to Manage School Fees.
Earn $$ for your school.

Tired of a School Payment platform that is hard to manage, doesn’t look like your website, and is clunky on a mobile device? 

We’re excited to introduce myPayment — a comprehensive, automated payment system designed specifically for schools to save time, reduce unpaid fees, and make life easier for both staff and families. 

Give your families and staff an appealing and easy payment experience, generate more revenue sooner, and watch the value pile up!

Literal $$ In Your Pocket

myPayment saves time and $$ for schools and families.
myPayment earns revenue for your school.

Here are 18 powerful ways:

Icon

Collect More Money, Sooner

With automated fee reminders for past due fees, you will bring more money in sooner, which means less money to write off at end of the year or when the student leaves the school.

Schools can recover a portion of their annual revenue loss due to non-payments
Icon

No Transaction Fees, Low 3% Convenience Fee

Frogtummy does not charge transaction fees for families, and we offer a low 3% convenience fee.

School Can Earn Transaction Fees

Schools can charge their own transaction fees, on their terms. Transaction fees go to the school general ledger account and are shown on a report.

Earn revenue on school-assessed transaction fees
Icon

Round Up During Checkout

During checkout, ask users to donate to your school by rounding up to the nearest $1, $5 or $10. The extra revenue can be paid toward your Donation fund.

Earn donations on orders
Icon

Donate from Order Email

Add a link to your Order Confirmation email to make a donation. Eliminate the need for separate fundraisers!

Promote donations on order emails
Icon

PTO Donations

Funds can be directed into separate bank accounts. For example, school fees to the school bank account, donations to the PTO bank account, etc. Your PTO will benefit from multiple touchpoints, tap-to-pay at school events, mass-messaging, etc.

Easy To Pay with Several Touchpoints

Parents can pay easily on your school website or through the Frogtummy app. No third-parties involved!

Parents save 2-10 minutes per transaction with instant payment touchpoints
Icon

Partial Payments

Parents can make and track their own partial payments, such as for school trips, cheerleading, etc. Parents are shown their payment history over time; schools no longer have to track partial payments.

Reduce your support tickets
Icon

No Guesswork On What Is Owed

Parents don't have to guess what they owe—the exact fee amounts for each student show in their portal; no need to remember student ID numbers or calculate fees. Schools can view, message and manage payment groups on a Dashboard.

Parents save hours of time looking up fees
Schools save hours of time communicating fee amounts to parents and reconciling "wrong amounts" paid
Icon

Lunch Payments & Low Balance Notices to Families

Students and teachers pay for meals on their Frogtummy account. These payments are automatically uploaded to your SIS. Negative lunch balance notices are sent automatically, with links to pay. 

Lunch Director saves 4-10 hours per month
Icon

No Parent Panic With Delayed Updates

Lunch payments are instantly recorded, so parents don’t get false notices for negative lunch balances.

Lunch Director handles 3-10 fewer phone calls weekly
Icon

Eliminate Logins

Eliminate third-party logins for Donations, School Fees, Merchandise & Tickets—all payments run through one platform with one login. Users never have to leave your school website.

Parents are more apt to donate when they don't have to deal with third-party logins
Icon

Single Reconciliation With Bank

Because all payments are being processed through the same system, you do not need to collate reports from multiple payment systems to reconcile with your bank. We even time our reports to cut off at the same time as your bank!

Business Manager saves 5-20 hours monthly (at $50/hour)
Icon

Instant Reports

To each fee, you can assign your internal general ledger accounting number, as well as the state-required accounting category. That way, you have instant reports for both internal and state requirements.

School Accountants save 4 hours monthly
Icon

Payments Fed to Accounting Software

When a payment is made, we feed the data into your accounting software! The payment feed is either API or CSV, depending on what your accounting software can support. (This is an add-on feature.)

Business Manager saves 16-30 hours weekly (at $50/hour)
Icon

Eliminate SIS

Schools no longer have to set up / configure fees in their SIS. Daily payments no longer have to be uploaded to your SIS.
