The Payment Solution for Education
This solution is designed to make it easy for the education sector to offer China’s most popular payment methods, Alipay and WeChat Pay. Equally removing the friction from the fee paying process for students, parents or family members in China paying the school fees or tuition fees. Payments can be processed at your premise in person using an existing EFTPOS terminal and by adding a link to our payment platform in your invoice. Mandatory reference fields ensure payments are easily reconciled.

Reconcilation on Alipay and WeChat Pay
Easy to view and export key transaction information for reconciliation purposes. Mandatory reference fields can be set up to capture key identification information use such as student ID, invoice number, student name, even multiple references.
Refund on Alipay and WeChat Pay
Refunds on Alipay and WeChat Pay are actually reversals or partial reversals of the original transaction. Lookup functions make it easy to identify the original transactions to refund. A six digit refund code is issued to ensure only authorised person can use this function. Refund exchange rates are set at the rate of the original transaction so there is no foreign exchange liability.

What students and parents say
This now makes it so easy for my husband who is working back in China to pay the school fees. He does not need to go to the bank to do the international transfer.
Amy Chen
The grandpa normally contributes a lot to my son's school fee. So Alipay solution fits perfecly to my situation. I simply share the QR code to the grandpa, grandapa can manage the payment himslef with no problem.
Sky Wang
We definately will stick to Alipay for school fees. I don't need to exchange my Chinese RMB to NZD through money remittance company. The exchange rate on Alipay is so competitive compare to any bank and remittance companies.

What our clients say
Our parents are genuinely excited to see we are now offering Alipay & WeChat Pay.
Before, during and after the COVID-19 lockdown it became apparent that our clients need and want more options/ways of paying their bills.
The PayPlus solution was very simple and easy to use. All our queries and questions were answered straight away; advice and solutions given and everything was done in a couple of days.
The customer service was excellent, they visited us and explained in detail how it all works.
It has been very successful and we have more and more clients using this way of payment.
I would highly recommend PayPlus.
