How to level up your education software with embedded payments

January 30, 2025

In the childcare and education sectors, where trust, efficiency, and reliability are paramount, you as a management software provider play a crucial role in helping schools, daycares, and nurseries run their businesses smoothly.

One area where your platform can significantly enhance your value is by embedding tailored payment services directly into your software. By partnering with Unipaas, the go-to payments company for SaaS platforms, you can deliver seamless, secure, and user-friendly payment experiences that your customers and the parents who are their key users, will love. All while maximising the monetisation of your platform without requiring a large amount of resources.

Here's how:

1. Tailored user journeys

Unipaas understands the unique needs of the childcare and education sectors. Our embedded payment solutions are designed to create a smooth and intuitive user experience from start to finish, one tailored to the specific needs of each management software user. The platform allows for quick onboarding, where users can start accepting payments with minimal friction, ensuring a seamless transition to the new system.

Our solution supports a wide variety of payment methods, including Direct Debit, credit cards,  instant bank transfers, and digital wallets like Apple and Google Pay, making it perfect for handling everything from recurring tuition fees to one-time charges for extracurricular activities. Childcare and education providers, on top of all of this, can also benefit from real-time dashboards and reporting tools that simplify financial management and improve cash flow visibility.

And the best part? Our tailored payment services are resource-light as Unipaas teams manage operations, risk and support on the back-end, freeing up time, and money, for you to focus on growing your business. 

2. Fast go-to-market with easy integration

Speed is essential in today's competitive landscape. Unipaas makes it easy for you as a management software provider in childcare and education to integrate payment services into your platform.

3. High-level monetisation

Unipaas not only enhances your software's functionality but also opens up new revenue opportunities. Our platform offers flexible pricing models that allow you to add your own margin on top of our competitive rates to create an additional revenue stream. 

But we don’t stop there. We also implement a number of marketing activities that can lead to increased payment adoption and therefore more revenue. It all comes down to our ability to tailor marketing to the childcare and educational organisations using your software. For instance, our marketing component enables you to embed targeted banners designed according to your brand’s look and feel into your software interface.  These banners display AI-powered messaging to drive awareness and usage of your payment services by personalising outreach to each of your platform users. Here, our teams work closely together with you on achieving our common goal of maximising the adoption and usage of your payment services.
