Fees and Payment Gateway

EnrolHQ integrates with different banks as part of the standard system.

To get the credit card payments set up, please ask your Finance team to contact the bank to get any Usernames/Passwords, API Keys and Merchant Numbers required for the credit card facility your school will use. Then you will need to input these into the system and test with a $1 credit card payment.

Go to Settings > Payment Settings and complete the following:

Every school must setup their own Fees and Payment Settings.

EnrolHQ has a list of the different payment option details Available Banks for Online Payments

Payment Settings - other details Feb 2025
  1. Accept AMEX: - this is off by default however if on the school can choose to add the AMEX surcharge to the parent's payment. American Express uses two security features: the CVV (Card Verification Value) and the CID (Card Identification Data). The CVV is a secure 4-digit code derived from your card number, which is not stored on the magnetic strip, making it visible only on the card itself. The CID, located on the back of the card, is similar to the 3-digit code used by Visa, MasterCard, and Discover. This number is not stored on the magnetic strip, nor is it displayed on the front of the card. Add the percentage and activate via the tick box.
  2. Email For Daily Reports: - generally this email address is a generic finance email e.g. fees@myschool.nsw.edu.au
  3. Hour of Sending the Daily Reports: - this is the cut off time for the receipts from EnrolHQ (24 hour clock). Be aware that parents can make payments that will appear in the bank but not be included in the report due to this cut-off time.
  4. Credit Card Surcharge Label: - this is off by default however if on the school can choose to add the VISA/Mastercard surcharge to the parent's payment.
  5. Credit Card Surcharge (as a percentage): this is set to 0 by default. Please note that this surcharge is added by EnrolHQ before sending the whole amount to the Payment Gateway (inclusive of surcharge)
