Recording the first payment
A payment is recorded against a fee agreement: what a student has agreed to pay, and when. So the first payment is two steps: the agreement, then the money. Owners, admins, and anyone allowed to manage Student Fees can do both. A student enrolled in a priced group already has their agreement - skip to recording the payment.
Agree the fee
Section titled “Agree the fee”The student must be enrolled in a running group, as they are once the group is open.
