Daycare billing software
Put every family on autopay with ACH or card, send receipts automatically, chase nothing. Seedling handles billing end to end for a flat $40 a month, with no percentage taken from your tuition.
Chasing tuition is the worst hour of a director’s week. Seedling puts each family on an autopay schedule tied to their e-signed agreement: charges run automatically, receipts send themselves, and a failed payment triggers a secure retry link to the family without you playing collections. One-time charges like field trips ride along on the next bill.
You see everything in one place: every payment and its status, refunds, disputes with deadlines, and the deposits Stripe has sent to your bank. Families can pay by bank transfer (ACH) at a lower processing cost or by card, and the processing fee can be passed to families or absorbed, your choice. Seedling itself takes no cut of tuition beyond the flat $40 subscription.
Many platforms lock billing behind a higher tier or charge extra for it as a module, on top of per-child pricing. In Seedling, billing is included in the flat $40 a month. The only other cost is standard payment processing when families pay online.
No. Your center is the merchant of record and tuition flows to your Stripe account. Standard payment processing applies (lower for ACH than card), and you decide whether families or the center covers it. Seedling’s revenue is the flat subscription, not your tuition.
The family automatically gets an email with a secure link to fix their payment method and settle the charge, and the dashboard flags the family until it clears. You do not have to make the awkward call.
Each family chooses their payment method during setup and can update it from their secure portal. ACH costs less to process, and Seedling shows you your ACH adoption so you can nudge families toward the cheaper rail.
Autopay tuition, automatic receipts, and a flat $40/month. Getting tuition paid on time is the whole point.
