FAQs
How does online payment collection benefit education organizations?
Online platforms dramatically reduce volunteer workload by automating tracking and eliminating cash handling. They also increase participation by offering parents a convenient, mobile-friendly way to pay, leading to higher fundraising totals and more timely fee collections.
Is Cheddar Up secure for school payment collection?
Absolutely. Cheddar Up is secure and PCI compliant. In addition, Cheddar Up never sees or stores any financial-related information. Information is sent directly and securely to our payment partner, Stripe, which processes billions of dollars annually, using Transport Layer Security (TLS).
What types of payments can education organizations collect?
Organizations can collect for virtually any need, including fundraisers, event tickets, spirit wear sales, field trip fees, club dues, PTA memberships, and teacher gifts. Our platform is flexible enough to handle simple payments or complex collections with multiple items and forms.
How does Cheddar Up compare to other payment platforms for schools?
Unlike generic platforms, Cheddar Up is built specifically for the needs of school communities. We offer education-specific templates, robust tracking, and features for volunteer coordination that other platforms lack, all without a complex setup.
Can we integrate Cheddar Up with our school management system?
While direct API integrations are not included in our standard plans, Cheddar Up’s reporting tools make it simple to export your data. You can quickly download transaction and payer details in CSV or Excel format for easy import into most school management or accounting systems. For even more connectivity, the Team Plan includes Zapier integration, allowing you to automate workflows and connect with hundreds of other apps.
What support is available for education organizations?
We offer dedicated support from a team of experts, many of whom have experience as PTA leaders and school volunteers themselves. Support is available via live chat and email, and we provide a rich library of video tutorials, best-practice guides, and live demos to help you succeed.
How does Cheddar Up handle our club's registration forms and waivers?
You can build custom forms directly into your collection pages to gather player information and secure digital signatures for waivers, all while collecting the registration fee.
Can we use Cheddar Up for our annual fundraising events, like a silent auction or gala?
Absolutely. Cheddar Up supports fixed-price items, open donations, and ticket sales, making it a great fit for booster club fundraising events.
What payment options are available to parents?
Parents can pay securely using all major credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, Discover, Amex) or via e-check (ACH).
Is there a cost for our Soccer Booster Club to use Cheddar Up?
Cheddar Up offers both a free plan and a paid plan. On both plans, you can customize fees-your club can absorb the transaction fee or pass it on to the payer. On the paid plan, fees are lower.
How quickly do we receive the funds collected?
Funds are typically deposited directly into your club's bank account within 1-3 business days after the payment is made.
Can we track who has paid for spirit wear versus who has paid their annual dues?
Yes. The dashboard provides granular tracking so you can filter and view payment status by item or collection.
