Depending on the school, one of the payment methods available to you is One-Click Payment
NB: If accessing via the web version of School Gateway you will see Bank Transfer option rather than the rebranded One-Click Payment. The functionality remains the same.
A One-Click Payment is the easiest and most secure way to pay using School Gateway.
The One-Click Payment set up can either be completed via the School Gateway app or website.
Once the initial set up has been completed, there is no requirement to re-enter bank details each time a payment is processed via School Gateway.
NOTE
A One-Click Payment is a means of payment that debits a payers bank or building society account rather than using a credit card. It uses the direct debit function to do this but unlike typical direct debits, it is for individual purchases rather than reoccurring ones. Once setup, the direct debit mandate can be used each time a payer wishes to make a purchase using that account, without the need to re-enter their card or account details.
When a payment is made by One-Click Payment on School Gateway, the payment shows in Schoolcomms straight away, however the payment is not debited from the payers account for 3 to 5 working days after the transaction was made. Initial payments can sometimes take up to 10 working days to clear.
Payments will never be debited from the payer’s account without the payer authorising every individual transaction via their School Gateway account.
The One-Click Payment facility is backed by the Direct Debit Guarantee.
