parents can pay fees and transport online via Razorpay
New feature shipped to Inkwelly— India's most actively developed school management software. This change is in production at real Indian schools today, not on a roadmap.
- Payments: Parents can now pay fee and transport invoices online from the student portal using Razorpay — cards, UPI, netbanking, or wallets. Partial payments allowed; receipts and WhatsApp / SMS / email confirmations to parents continue to fire automatically. See fee management module.
- Configuration: Three-tier setup — super-admin sets an Inkwelly default account that any new school inherits, org admins can configure one Razorpay account for every school in the organisation, and individual schools can override with their own Razorpay merchant. Each account chooses whether the parent pays the convenience fee on top or the school absorbs it from settlement.
- Reliability: Each Razorpay payment is verified by signature on the browser return and again by webhook, so duplicate deliveries or network drops never charge a parent twice or double-credit an invoice. Stored merchant credentials are encrypted in the database — Inkwelly never holds Razorpay secret keys in plain text.
This isn't a roadmap. It's already running in your competitor's school.
Every update on the Inkwelly changelog is in production at real Indian schools today. If you're tired of ERP vendors who promise features for “next quarter”, let's talk. We run a 90-day paid pilot with a pro-rata refund and full data export.
