Payments
- Choose whether parents are able to make payments towards their total balance for a given year
- Choose whether parents are able to make payments towards open invoices*
*When making a payment, parents can select a payment schedule to apply the payment towards, but not individual invoices.
If this setting is set to Yes, when a family makes a payment towards a payment schedule for which they have an unpaid invoice, the payment will be automatically applied to that invoice.
If this setting is set to No, the payment will be applied towards the overall payment schedule balance but not towards the unpaid invoice. An admin user would then need to manually apply the payment towards the invoice via the Invoices tab of the family's profile. - Customize the payment confirmation message that appears after a payment is submitted successfully
To keep parents from making payments outside of the invoice schedule, disallow payments towards their balance but allow payments towards open invoices.

Select whether or not:
- Parents can change their invoice preferences (i.e. which parent[s] should receive invoices)
- Parents can view their payment schedule dates and download generated invoices
