EDUWALLET · IN-PERSON PAYMENT OPTIONS
A language-school terminal for paying when enrolling
A learner has chosen a course and wants to pay by card immediately. A terminal can help finish enrolment without sending them away to make a transfer. Let's review what fits your school.
The moment someone chooses a course matters
A new learner discusses their level, timetable and goals. If they want to pay for a course or a trial lesson there and then, an extra bank-transfer step slows down the conversation.
A terminal in your language-school office can complement online payments. Availability and commercial terms need checking, as does any connection between card transactions and Eduwallet's charge records.
What changes day to day?
Card payment at enrolment
A terminal may allow someone to settle an enrolment for a new semester immediately on site, subject to the chosen offer.
Easy payment for a private lesson
Card payments can reduce reliance on cash collection and transfers made after a visit.
Fewer steps for learners
When a supplement for one-to-one tuition comes up, an in-person card option may make things easier for staff and families.
Hardware suited to your reception
Device suitability depends on location, transaction volume and operational needs. We review these before recommending an option.
Where this matters most
An enrolment for a new semester
A new learner discusses their level, timetable and goals. An enrolment for a new semester is a practical moment to keep the payment record clear.
A supplement for one-to-one tuition
A terminal in your language-school office can complement online payments. For a supplement for one-to-one tuition, staff can work from the relevant charge instead of several lists.
A test or consultation fee
A test or consultation fee needs a clear payment purpose. Keep it distinct from other receivables so it is easier to reconcile.
Planning on-site card payments
Identify where payments are taken
Identify when in-person payment matters, such as an enrolment for a new semester.
Decide which fees need on-site payment
Decide who takes payments and whether the device stays at a desk or is needed at events.
Review hardware options and terms
Check available hardware, card processing costs and commercial terms.
Plan transaction handling and reporting
Plan transaction reconciliation; do not assume automatic integration with Eduwallet.
Common questions
Can we accept cards on site?
Terminal availability and device type depend on the provider's offer and onboarding conditions. This also applies to an enrolment for a new semester.
Which payments suit a terminal?
It may help with an enrolment for a new semester or other amounts paid in person, complementing online checkout. Consider how this works for a supplement for one-to-one tuition.
Will terminal payments automatically update Eduwallet?
No integration should be assumed without confirmation for the selected device and provider. Check the available setup for a test or consultation fee.
How should we choose a terminal?
Review transaction volume, the location where payments happen and needs such as a test or consultation fee. A useful example to start with is a test or consultation fee.
