Where to find BE Paid on the Blossom Nursery Platform

Blossom has the option to allow nurseries to receive direct payments made by parents via the parent app.

To activate the feature you will need to access the Blossom Payment Gateway.

  • More > Settings > Finance > Blossom Payment Gateway

Now, that you have reached the Blossom Payment Gateway please click 'Connect with Stripe'.

Once you have successfully connected to Stripe the nursery is able to receive payments, and parents are able to make direct payments.

How BE Paid works

When Mobile payments (BE Paid) have been set up in the nursery platform, parents are able to use the feature by accessing the wallet section within the settings of the Parent App. Here, parents are able to select & set up their payment method.

  • Parent App > Three bar menu > Settings > Wallet > Select payment methods or recurring payments.

What are the different payment methods?

  • BACS Direct Debit

  • Card payments

  • Recurring Card Payments

Supported Payment Types

BACS Direct Debit

BACS Direct Debit is recommended as it reduces the number of unpaid balances due to late payments or invalid/expired credit card details. Paying by Direct Debit, the parent’s bank account is automatically charged on the date that is specified by the nursery. The parents will receive an automatic email confirmation notifying them that they have been charged via Direct Debit.

Debit/Credit Card Payment

Parents can also pay by debit or credit card. They are able to do this via a one-off payment or they can set up a recurring card payment. All they need to do is to add their card details in the Wallet which is found under the Parent App settings.

Once a payment has been successfully processed the parent will see a payment receipt for the transaction on their account immediately. If their card payment has failed, an error message will show up in the Parent App during the payment process. This means that the payment has been unsuccessful and their card will not be charged. For ease of use and to save time Parents are able to save their card details in our system for future card payments.

Parents are able to add and delete payment methods in the Wallet, which can be found in the Parent App settings.
