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 help us manage our track meet entry fees?
Create a specific collection page for each meet with the exact fee and deadline. Cheddar Up automatically tracks who has paid, making it easy to confirm entries and manage the roster without manual cross-referencing.
Can we use Cheddar Up for our annual shoe and equipment drive fundraiser?
Yes. Set up a donation-style collection or sell specific items (like spikes or team gear) with variable pricing. Cheddar Up handles payment processing and provides a clear list of contributors.
Is the payment process secure for our parents and donors?
Yes. Cheddar Up uses industry-leading security and encryption to protect financial data and is trusted by thousands of organizations nationwide.
How do we track which payments are for which athlete or event?
Add custom fields (athlete name, team level, event name, etc.) to your collection. That information is captured and tied directly to each payment in your dashboard.
Can we collect both payments and required forms (like waivers) at the same time?
Yes. Use the custom form builder to include waivers, permission slips, and other required fields directly on the payment page so everything is collected in one transaction.
How quickly can we access the funds collected for our team?
After payments are processed, you can initiate a withdrawal to your club bank account. Funds are typically available within 1-3 business days after the withdrawal is requested.
