This article describes the key concepts and tools used for Online Payments, the School Store, and Fees. The following image represents the relationship between these tools. This article takes a closer look at these tools and explains each tool in detail.
Product Types and Fee Types
Concept | Description |
---|---|
Product Type | Product Types are assigned to Products and to Fund Accounts. When a product is purchased, funds are deposited into the bank associated with the Fund Account to which you assigned the Product Type. Product Types are set up in System Settings > School Store > Product Types. |
Fee Type | Fee Types are created and modified in the Fee Type dictionary in the Core Attribute Dictionary: System Settings > Custom Data and Links > Core Attribute/Dictionary. Fee Types are assigned to Fees and Fund Accounts. Once a Fee Type is selected for a Fund Account, you cannot select the same Fee Type for a second Fund Account at the same school. |
Tip: Product Types and Fee types are not unique for each school. Once a Product type or Fee type is added, it is available for every school in the district.
