How to add recurring payments to your Eduwallet

A step by step guide on adding recurring payments to your Eduwallet.

Recurring fees in Perno Eduwallet let you automatically create monthly charges, for example for tuition, courses or memberships. You can set the amount, charge generation day and payment deadline, then assign the plan to an entire group or selected students.

How to create recurring fees in Perno Eduwallet

1. Open the recurring fees list

In the menu on the left, select Finance → Recurring fees.

The Recurring fee plans page lists plans with their amounts, assigned recipients and status. Click + Add recurring fee to create a new plan.

 

2. Make sure a payment destination is configured

Each plan must specify how the student or guardian can pay.

If you see the message Add a payment destination before creating a payment, click Add payment destination and configure a payment option. Then return to creating the plan.

 

3. Enter the name, amount and dates

Complete the basic form fields:

  • Name — the plan name, for example “English course tuition”.

  • Amount — the amount of each recurring charge. Enter it with two decimal places, following the example in the form: 125.50.

  • Payment term (days) — the number of days allowed for payment, for example 14.

  • Day of month to create charges — the day of the month when the system should generate charges; for example, 1 means the first day of each month.

If a description field is available in the form, you can add information explaining what the fee covers.

4. Select a group or individual students

Decide who should receive the charges.

To assign the plan to an entire class or group, select it in the Class or group field. The plan will remain linked to the group and reflect its current membership:

  • New group members will be included in future charges.

  • People removed from the group will no longer receive new charges from this plan.

To assign the plan to specific people, select them in the Students field.

5. Define the plan period

The Start date and End date fields define the period during which charges should be generated.

If the selected group belongs to an academic year, the system automatically takes the start and end dates from that academic year.

For a plan assigned to individually selected students, specify the period yourself, for example from 1 October 2026 to 31 August 2027. An end date is required for this type of assignment.

6. Set the fee properties

Further down the form, you will find these options:

  • Main fee — marks the fee as the main fee.

  • Optional fee — marks the fee as optional.

  • Exempt from interest — exempts the fee from interest charges.

Select the settings appropriate for the plan you are creating.

7. Select payment destinations and a reminder schedule

In the required Payment destinations field, select at least one payment option that students or guardians can use.

In the Payment reminder schedule field, you can select an automatic reminder schedule. If you leave this field empty, the system will use the institution’s default schedule.

8. Save the plan

Check the amount, dates, group or student assignment and selected payment options. Then click Save.

The plan will generate subsequent charges according to the configured day of the month and validity period.

9. Review the details and manage the plan

Open the plan you created to review the assigned group or list of students.

To stop generating further charges, deactivate the plan. Deactivation stops future charges while preserving previously generated charges and payment history.
