A payment destination defines how an institution receives money from students or guardians. You can configure online payments through Perno Orchestration or specify a bank account for traditional transfers. Add at least one payment destination before creating charges.
Configuring payment destinations in Perno Eduwallet
1. Open the payment destinations list
In Perno Eduwallet, expand the Finance menu and select Payment destinations.
The page lists the configured payment destinations. If none have been added yet, you will see the message No items found.
Click + Add to open the Payment destination form.
2. Enter a payer-facing name
In the required Name field, enter a clear name that helps the student or guardian identify the payment option, for example:
-
Pay online by card or BLIK.
-
School bank account.
-
Payments for class 2A.
Make sure the name reflects the payment methods actually available.
3. Choose how to receive payments
In the Payment type field, select one of the available options.
Perno Orchestration — online payments
This is the recommended option. Perno selects the payment provider and method according to the institution’s orchestration configuration. This may include card payments, BLIK and other available online methods.
In the Merchant account field, you can:
-
leave the selection empty to let Perno Orchestration choose the payment provider automatically;
-
select a specific merchant account if required by your existing payment setup.
The optional account selection in the form does not mean that online payments work without a configured merchant account. If you see the message Add a merchant account before enabling online payments, click Add merchant account and add an account matching the institution. The message indicates that a production or test (sandbox) account can be used. If you need help, select Contact us.
Bank transfer — traditional bank transfer
Choose this option if the payer should manually transfer money to the institution’s account.
Enter the institution’s bank-account number. This destination tells the student or guardian which account to transfer the funds to.
4. Optionally assign a class or group
In the Class or group field, you can select the class or group to which the payment destination will apply.
-
Select a class or group to limit the destination to it.
-
Leave the field empty if it should apply to the entire institution.
This assignment lets you create a separate payment option, for example for class 2A.
5. Set the default payment destination
The Default checkbox determines whether this destination should be the institution’s default.
The first payment destination you add is automatically set as the default. You can change this selection later.
6. Save the configuration
Check the name, payment type and details required for the selected payment option. Also verify the class or group assignment and the Default setting.
Click Save to save the destination. The Cancel button lets you discard your changes.
7. Use payment destinations when creating charges
When creating one-time charges and recurring fees, you can select one or more payment destinations.
The assigned options will be available to students and guardians for that charge. If you provide several destinations, the payer can choose from the available payment options.
