Product Additional Options: Guest Checkout, Recurring Payments, and Service Fees

Master advanced product configuration options including guest checkout eligibility, recurring payment schedules, and convenience fees.

The Additional Options tab within the Edlio Pay product editor houses powerful toggles that control how products are purchased, billed, and redeemed.

Key Additional Options Settings

  • Guest Checkout: Controls whether a patron can purchase this item without creating a permanent account or adding a student ID profile. Ideal for public fundraisers, booster club donations, and community event tickets.

  • Recurring Payments: Enables scheduled automatic billing (weekly, monthly, or customized installments) for recurring fees such as tuition, club dues, or instrument rentals.

  • Convenience / Service Fee Toggles: Determines whether standard credit card processing fees are absorbed by the school activity fund or passed through to the purchaser.

  • Ticketed Item: Enables barcode generation and gate redemption tracking (part of Online Ticket Management - OTM).

  • Require Student ID: Mandates that the purchaser select an enrolled student profile from their account before purchasing. Essential for student-specific obligations and class fees.
