To add a Student(s) to Your Account

1. At the top of your Dashboard, select Make a Payment
2. Enter payment dollar amounts for each student as desired and select Checkout
3. (Optional) If your district allows for the purchase of other types of school items (yearbooks, fees, etc.), you will see a  Shop Campus Store button, where you can enter payment amounts for those items as well. If the district does not accept those payment types through SchoolCafé, this button will not be visible.
4. On the Checkout screen, confirm the total and select an existing payment method, or choose add a new card.  When adding a new card, you can enter your card’s details and either save it (including making it your default payment card) or use it for a one-time payment.
5. When you have confirmed all details, select Submit to complete the payment. Funds are typically available at the child(ren)’s school(s) within 20 minutes.

1. From your Dashboard, locate an individual student on your account and select the blue text next to ‘Automatic Payment’ (the text will say either ‘Not Set’ or ‘Set for …’)
2. In the first field, enter a Payment Amount. This amount will be paid automatically.
3. In the following field, enter a balance threshold. This tells SchoolCafé how low the student’s balance must be before payment is made.
4. Select a payment source or select add a new card.
5. In the last field, confirm the date that the Automatic Payment will expire. (Note: this date should be before your payment source expires, if possible!)
6. Select Save

1. From your Dashboard, locate an individual student and select the blue text next to ‘Low Balance Alert’ (the text will say either ‘Not Set’ or ‘Set for …’)
2. In the first field, enter a balance threshold. This sets the minimum balance required before a low-balance alert is sent to you.
3. In the following field, enter how often you would like to receive a reminder that the student’s balance is below the threshold. This is helpful in case you miss an email or alert.
