Monthly Billing: As Easy as 1-2-3

The customer billing cycle is perhaps one of the most awesome yet underutilized features within ClassJuggler. You can posts thousands of dollars in charges to hundreds of customers with just a few mouse clicks.

Did you know you can email account statements to all your customers in seconds after generating your new monthly fees? Sending statements on a regular monthly basis to your customers is a guaranteed way to reduce late payments and save you time and money.

Each billing cycle is made up of several steps. Here are the steps we recommend for most customers:

• Customer Payments – Record all of the payments you have received but not yet recorded from customers.
• Post Late Fees – (optional) Run this optional step for all of your customers in a selected payment group if you enforce a late fee policy for outstanding invoiced balances.
• Post Tuition – Run this step to process tuition fees for all customers in a selected payment group. Post Tuition creates detailed tuition charges for all students, from each customer family, enrolled in an active class for the billed month - and posts those fees to each appropriate customer's account.
• Print/Email Statements – After completing the steps to generate new fees, choose print or email from the report type and choose who you'd like to send statements to using the rich set of report filters. You can also choose to customize your statement message before printing or emailing statements.

A billing cycle can take as little as 10 minutes each month! Now that's a time saver. And if you have a ClassJuggler merchant account for credit & debit card processing, you can collect payments from your customers right after generating their new fees!*
