Once you’ve added students, created classes, and set up fees, recording payments is quick and simple. When a payment is registered, Teach ’n Go automatically generates a receipt. This article explains how to record payments manually (e.g., by cash or bank transfer).

It's also possible to accept payments directly from students using Stripe or PayPal


Add a payment and issue a receipt

  1. Click the + button in the top-right corner and select Payment.

    • If you are already in the Payments section, click New payment in the top right.

    • You can also start a payment directly from a student’s profile.

  1. Select the student from the list.

    • Start typing to quickly filter students.

    • You can also select multiple students on the same receipt (useful for siblings).

  1. All outstanding payments for the selected student(s) will appear on the page.

    • Remove any fees the customer is not paying for by clicking the X next to the item.

  2. Customise the receipt if needed:

    • Click + Add a fee to include additional or custom fees.

    • Apply a discount if applicable.

    • Register a partial payment if the full amount is not being paid. The remaining balance will stay outstanding on the student’s account.

    • If the customer wants to pay in advance for future items, you can add those as well.

  1. Click Create receipt to complete the process.

Once saved, the receipt will open automatically. You can:

  • Print it

  • Download it

  • Send it via SMS or Email

  4. Click Save after making changes.


Troubleshooting

  • Receipt not generated? Make sure you clicked Create receipt after entering payment details.
