Payment reminders for education
Schools and tutoring centres know this one well: term fees get chased by hand. The payment reminder flow handles it for you, between lessons, enrolments and parent emails. A polite reminder sequence for unpaid invoices, with a payment link in every message.
The problems it takes off your list
Term fees get chased by hand. It sounds small, but for schools and tutoring centres it repeats every week. The payment reminder flow takes it over.
What it looks like in practice
Say you run a small online language school. An invoice passes its due date in Stripe. The student gets a friendly reminder with a payment link. A week later a firmer note follows. When they pay, the sequence stops and the invoice is marked paid.
How it works for education
Step by step, this is what the payment reminder flow does with your students and parents.
- An invoice is due or overdue in Stripe.
- A polite reminder goes out with a payment link.
- Follow-ups go out on a schedule you choose, getting firmer.
- Payments are matched and the sequence stops.
- You get a weekly list of who still owes what.
Tools it connects to
For schools and tutoring centres, I usually connect it to Stripe and Mailchimp. It runs on Xero, QuickBooks and n8n behind the scenes.
Questions from schools and tutoring centres
Does the payment reminder flow work with Stripe?
Often, yes. Before building the payment reminder flow I check your Stripe account and plan, because some features depend on API access. If there's a gap for your education setup, you'll know before you pay anything.
What does the payment reminder flow cost to run each month?
Setup for the payment reminder flow starts at $250 while the launch offer is on, for schools and tutoring centres and everyone else. Tools like OpenAI, Twilio and n8n hosting usually cost $5 to $30 a month, billed to you directly. I'll tell you the exact number before we start.
Can I change how it works later?
Yes. The payment reminder flow keeps its messages, timings and rules in settings or a simple sheet you can edit. For bigger changes, such as a new step for your students and parents, message me and I'll quote it first.
