Fast deployment
Payment processing can be implemented in a matter of days, not weeks. Aurora’s streamlined onboarding process means you can be up and running with automated tuition payments (and less paperwork) almost immediately.
Payment options
Give families the payment flexibility they need with credit cards, debit cards, ACH bank transfers and mobile payments. We can support payment complexity, too, like split payments for divorced parents, automatic recurring billing and one-time drop-in payments.
Secure Information
Keep family payment information safe and secure with the same encryption technology banks use. Aurora also has built-in functionality to meet your industry’s regulations, keeping you current with PCI compliance requirements.
Automated tuition billing
Set up automated monthly, weekly or even custom billing schedules that work for every family. That flexibility comes with a massive upside – you can reduce late payments by up to 90%, avoid manual invoicing errors and give parents predictable payment dates.
Zero Cost Processing
Credit card processing can eat up to 3.5% of every transaction. Reduce payment fees and keep more of what your child care business earns with zero cost processing, dual processing and cash discounting payment options.
