online bus fee payment in the app with automatic receipts
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.
- Transport (app): Parents and students can now pay bus fees online straight from the Inkwelly app, not just the website — powered by Razorpay. Pay any outstanding transport invoice from the fee list or the invoice detail screen, in full or in part.
- Transport (notifications): Every transport fee payment — paid online, through a shared payment link, or recorded by school office staff — now generates a receipt automatically and sends an instant confirmation on WhatsApp, SMS, email, and app push, with the receipt PDF attached. Reaches the student and falls back to parents. See the transport module.
- Student Transport Profile (transport): We built a world-class student transport profile (fee-module-style: hero, route tabs, finance, and a Route & Journey map with satellite).
- Transport (finance setup): Schools can now run transport billing their own way — set custom invoice, receipt and payment numbering with automatic financial-year sequences, auto-calculated due dates, partial-payment and minimum-amount rules, and automatic late fees on overdue dues. Plus fully branded invoice and receipt templates with logo, signature, bank details, GST, and thermal-printer layout.
- Transport (receipts): Thermal (POS) receipts now print the full student name, admission number and class along with a QR code parents can scan to verify the receipt online.
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.
