Pay Our School

PayOurSchool is provided by Way2Pay, a trusted Groupcall partner, and is a simple and easy to use parent payment solution that takes the hassle out of collecting money from parents. From trips to concerts or clubs to lunches, PayOurSchool provides a portal for parents to pay for items and activities as well as to top up their cashless catering lunch balance.

The system can be used for regular and recurring activities, allowing your school to move to a cashless environment. PayOurSchool can also be used for smaller schools or activities where payments are few and far between, for which a traditional subscription model would not make financial sense.

Your school data is automatically synced from Messenger to PayOurSchool. To ensure that PayOurSchool works successfully for the school and parents, it is important to maintain contact information in your MIS. Group data will also be pulled across, including any Saved Groups that you have created in Messenger.

PayOurSchool is completely free to set-up and there are no ongoing subscription fees. Groupcall are only obliged to charge a competitive 1.5% transaction fee for all online payments. For more information on this, click here. Credit card transactions do not incur any additional costs!

You will need to log into Messenger to access PayOurSchool. The PayOurSchool tile should be visible from your Homepage. If you don’t see this tile, contact your school administrator to check your permissions.

The main features of PayOurSchool can be accessed by clicking: View Activities, Create Activity or Reports from the tile. Clicking on any option will take you to the relevant feature within the PayOurSchool interface.
