PCR Educator now shows families their full payment schedule on course registration checkout pages, before they enter a card. The Payment Schedule widget that lists installments on Application Forms works on registration pages as well, so a family choosing a quarterly or monthly plan sees the amount due today and every date and amount that follows.

What's new

Schedule at checkout. Add the Payment Schedule widget to any registration payment page that carries the Sign up Summary and Summer Submit widgets. It reads the cart total and the Payment Term configured on Summer Submit and lists each installment with its due date.

Same numbers as the invoice. The widget expands the payment term through the same schedule calculation the invoice uses, dated with the same Invoice For Date. Installments that are already due appear as Today. What the page shows and what PCR Educator bills are the same figures.

Follows the family's choice. When the Deposit widget offers Pay in Full and Pay Later, the schedule switches with the family's selection: one payment today, or the installment plan, with no page reload.

Installments as percentages. Turn on Show Percent to add a column with each installment's share of the total, on registration pages and on Application Forms alike.

One widget, both places. Application Form pages keep the schedule they have today, sectioned by ledger and printed on the contract PDF. Registration pages get the same table with the same settings.

Why it matters

A family committing a card to a payment plan expects to see what will be charged and when. Schools that collect the first installment overnight, rather than at submit, can now state the plan on the page instead of in a paragraph of text, and the schedule the family reads is the schedule the invoice carries. Fewer "what will I be charged" questions reach the office, and the parent portal statement matches what the family saw at checkout.

A few ways to talk about it

• The payment plan is on the checkout page, with dates and amounts, before the card goes in.
• The schedule comes from the invoice's own payment term, so the page and the bill agree.
• One Payment Schedule widget serves contracts and registrations.

Available now to all PCR Educator schools. Your account team can walk you through adding the widget to your registration pages whenever you're ready.
