  • Generate invoices daily, weekly, bi-weekly, monthly and more.

  • Generate invoices in advance or after lessons have been attended.
  • You can create multiple invoice schedules if your clients pay at different intervals or if some clients pay per lesson and others pay a flat fee every month.

2. Processing Payments

Teachworks makes it easy to record payments manually. To speed up the process and offer convenient payment options to your clients, you can use our Stripe Integration to process credit cards and manage ACH payments (for US customers only).

Stripe Integration

Our Stripe Integration speeds up payment processing significantly. Payments processed through Stripe are recorded automatically in Teachworks. Payment can be collected in the following ways:

  • Clients can pay their invoices online.

  • You can process credit card payments for them.
  • Payment can be required upon booking (Website Booking Plugin Required).
  • You can collect ACH payments (US only at the moment).
