Check the fee payment proofs families send, and record cash paid at the office

Families send a payment with its receipt; the office accepts it, or rejects it with a reason they can read. Cash at the office is recorded too.

Every screen in the films is the real product, shown on a demo school made for them.

Matching UPI screenshots on WhatsApp to a fee register is slow and easy to get wrong. Here the family records the payment against the fee itself, with the amount, the reference and a photo of the receipt, and the office checks it with everything side by side.

The film shows both sides: a family recording a UPI payment on the student dashboard, the office accepting one proof and rejecting another, and a cash payment recorded at the office.

Good to know

Write a reason the family can act on

The reason you type when you reject a proof is exactly what the family reads. In the film it asks for a photo of the receipt, which tells them what to send.

Paid when the school accepts

A payment the family records waits under Payments sent. The fee turns to paid when the office presses Accept.

A sample receipt

The receipt in the film is a sample marked SAMPLE, on a demo school. The proofs were sent, accepted and rejected for real, and put back afterwards.
