Pick the right way for families to pay
OpenApply supports several payment providers as well as offline methods. The right choice depends on where your school is, the currencies you accept and how you reconcile payments.

|---|---|---|
| FariaPay | UK schools taking GBP, USD, EUR or CAD with a simple checkout | School Settings > Integrations > FariaPay |
| Stripe, Braintree, Cybersource or PayPal | Schools that already have an account with one of these providers | Settings > Payments |
| Alipay | Families in China | Settings > Payments |
| Flywire | International families paying in their own currency | Settings > Payments |
| Offline methods | Bank transfer or cheque, recorded by staff | Settings > Payments |
