Billing System Updates – More Power and Less Work For You

Auto-prorating holidays and closed class dates

In the next release of ClassJuggler, coming out soon, we will be introducing several improvements to the billing system. The most important enhancement is the ability for the Post Tuition cycle to factor dates and times your business is marked as "closed" for your students enrolled with fixed monthly rates. This will allow the system to automatically discount those months where you are not holding classes—especially for holidays. This new option is available via a checkbox setting.

For example, let's say a student, "Marcus" is enrolled in a class named "Backstroke Lvl1" with a monthly rate of $55.00 that meets every Wednesday for 60 minutes. It is November and you are not holding classes on the week of Nov 23–27th for Thanksgiving holiday. ClassJuggler will automatically determine there are 4 Wednesday classes in November and exclude the class on Nov 25th and reduce the posted tuition amount for that month to $56.25 for the one missed class.

We think this new feature will save hours of additional administrative work and reduce the need to post credits for those same discounts.

Additionally, the Post Tuition and Post Late fees cycles have been rewritten to run more smoothly on mobile devices (no pop-ups) and also provide much more information about statistics and the settings used for each billing cycle run.

Charge transactions generated from a Post Tuition billing cycle that use the new auto-prorating option will also show additional information on each transaction's description column (just hover over the description), that will explain how the discount was calculated so you can always see the exact details.
