Step Two: Address the following Lunch and Tuition/Fee payment settings questions from jmc Tech Support once your vendor application has been approved by Nelnet Payment Services:
Would you like to implement a Convenience Fee for families to cover Transaction Fees in Lunch and Tuition and Fees? If you choose yes, you will need to notify jmc of the flat fee you would like to charge families. If you choose no, your school will not apply any convenience fee to families.
What's the lowest deposit sum you'd consider accepting from families? The least amount you can set as a minimum is $5.00, whereas the maximum limit for a minimum deposit is $10.00.
What is the greatest amount you'd be comfortable receiving as a deposit from families? The maximum limit you can establish is $5000.00.
When families settle their charges in the Tuition and Fees module, would you prefer them to make payments for particular fees or towards the overall account balance? We suggest permitting families to pay towards specific fees as it facilitates more comprehensive reporting.
How many bank accounts would your district like? The $300.00 listed on your final software plan includes two bank accounts for Lunch, Tuition and Fees, specific Fees, or some combination.
Helpful Tip: To review your Lunch and Tuition/Fee payment settings, once they have been established by jmc Tech Support, head to Online Payments > Online Payments Settings in jmc Office.
