Connect a payment provider
What the provider setting really switches on, how far an installment offer actually reaches, and what a school with no provider has to do instead.
Written for school owners and admins
One dropdown decides whether your families can pay by card at all. It holds no merchant account of its own — the AllPay account their money settles into is arranged by the platform. “Manual only (no PSP)” is a supported way to run a school, not a fault, but it is absolute: no card is charged anywhere in the product.
Turning card payments on
- Set “Currency” first. It sits at the top of the page because it is the one choice here you cannot take back.
- Pick “AllPay (allpay.co.il)” under “Payment provider”.
- Look for “AllPay credentials configured”. Without it no merchant account stands behind the setting, and saving will not create one.
- Clear whatever the page lists under “Your public page is missing details AllPay requires”: “A phone number or a WhatsApp number”, “An email address”, “A physical address, including city, street and house number”. Saving without them is allowed, but AllPay reads your public page before approving card processing, and can suspend it later.
- Set “Max installments”, then “VAT on payment items”. The second only describes the receipt: “18% VAT included in the price” declares that the price you already charge contains it, and changing it never changes what a family pays.
- Save with “Save settings”, then run “Test connection”. “Webhook URL — attached automatically to every payment” needs nothing at the provider's end — it travels with every charge.
How far an installment offer reaches
Splitting a charge is funded by the card issuer, not by us, so four ceilings apply at once and the smallest wins: the provider's maximum of 12, the ceiling on this page, what that package duration was given, and what an admin picked for that one charge. While your school collects through the platform's merchant account the field is read-only, because the split is drawn against the platform's agreement, and a number from a stale page is dropped without an error. Two charges are never split however high you set it: an automatic renewal on a saved card, and a payment against an installment schedule the school itself drew up.
