Overview of how to set up split payments

To setup split payments between different payers for a child's tuition, the child's wallet should be used. The different payors will setup automatic wallet loads directly into the child's wallet for the amount they are going to pay each pay cycle. Universal Autopay will also then be setup using the child's wallet as the payment method. Once these steps have been done, the payment for the tuition will be set to come out of the child's wallet where it can collect the money and apply the payment once the the full amount of tuition is placed into the wallet on it's scheduled due date.

Please Note: If the wallet contains only a portion of the funds, it will not apply them until the full amount is in the wallet and the payment can be applied in full. The wallet will still attempt a payment if the due date has been reached, but will be recorded as a failed payment
 

Setting up the automatic wallet loads

If you have not first setup payment methods to use a card or ACH account through Seer, please do that first. You can see how to do that with these articles. How to setup a Credit Card in Seer How to setup ACH in Seer

The first thing that will need to be done is to have each payor log into Seer and go the the child's profile. You will want to find the drop down carrot next to the Load Button in the top right corner of the page. Once clicked, you will choose the setup automatic load option. 

A popup will come up where you will set you the schedule, date of either the week or month, start date and amount to load each time. Finally, set the payment type used and save. This will cause this amount to be loaded into the child's wallet when this date come each week or month. It is important to note that if you choose ACH as your payment method, the funds will not be input into the wallet until the funds have fully processed. This normally takes about 4 business days, so it is recommended that you setup the autoload to be a few days earlier than needed for monthly loads or to keep an extra weeks worth of funds in the wallet if doing a weekly load. 

Please Note: If you are splitting funds as a payor for multiple children, this same process will need to be done for each child. Never use the adult wallet when splitting payment on a child's tuition.

 

Setting up the Universal Autopay

You will also want to setup a Universal Autopay on the child to have it automatically debit the funds when tuition is due. To do this, go into the child's Money section and go to Automatic Payments. Click the blue Setup button to the right of Universal autopay located in the top left corner of your screen. Set the payment method as the child's wallet and click Save. 

Please Note: Only one payor needs to setup the Universal Autopay. If a first payor has already done this this step, any other payors will only need to setup their automatic wallet on the child's profile.
