Fixed Cost means there is a set cost at the time of enrollment, whether that cost is paid in full or paid in scheduled or installment payments.
Fixed Cost can be on any Enrollment Model (Simple/Days per Week/Classes). After choosing "Fixed Cost," you can add Charge Items that correspond to each of your fees.
This option will have one or more of the following costs:
Total Program Cost - The Total Program Cost is the TOTAL cost or pay-in-full cost of the Program.
Pay-in-Full - This is what is due if the entire Program was paid in full. This can be published or unpublished.
Payment Plans - Payment Plans are payment events that happen on a given date/time, allowing Customers to pay the total amount due over time.
The above items are described in more detail below.
Total Program Cost
You will need to add one or more Charge Items under "What is the Total Program Cost?" first. Charge Items can have any of the following options:
Recurring - The charge item recurs WITH tuition
Quantity - This allows you to set a price per unit and will enable the customer to select a quantity. The total is then calculated on the Enroll Form.
Required - The item is required on the Enroll Form, which is due at enrollment.
Hide on paid-in-full - This charge item should not be an option if tuition is paid in full.
Payment Plans - Choose if the item should be enabled for Payment Plans and can be paid over time or if the item should be paid at enrollment (per enrollment, enrollee, or account).
Prepayment - Used when you need to collect payment before enrollment.
The following are some examples of Charge Items you might have:
Registration or Deposit (recurring, required, hidden on paid-in-full, and due at enrollment)
Camp or Class Fee (recurring AND required; marked “no” on hiding on paid-in-full and due at enrollment)
Tuition (recurring and required)
See this support article for instructions on creating a new Charge Item.
Pay-in-Full Payment Plan
Whatever REQUIRED Charge Items are entered under "Total Program Cost," will automatically show under Pay-in-Full Payment Plan. Any optional charges will NOT show up in the Pay-in-Full Payment Plan.
In the example below, there are two required Charge Items that equal $100. The total due at enrollment ($100) is what is shown on the Pay-in-Full Payment Plan.
The Pay-in-Full cost is, by default, published (eye icon in the corner). It can be unpublished if you don't want to have a Pay-in-Full option.
NOTE: When duplicating a Program, the current Pay-in-Full setting (published or unpublished) will remain the same in the duplicated version.
Payment Plans
The only two Payment Plans allowed in Fixed Cost are Scheduled or Installments. See the following support articles for assistance in setting up these types of Payment Plans:
