IPPN has developed a new payment facility for Schools. Schools can now collect payments directly from parents – no more cash on site.
Through IPPN’s
TextaParent.ie service primary schools can request payments from parents via
Stripe or PayPal.
The purpose of this
payment system is to facilitate the easier collection of school money from
parent/guardians and to reduce the amount of cash and cheques being sent into
your school.
