PaySchools Is Now Available
Online Payment Systems for Lunches, Daycare
November 06, 2009
East Central is pleased to bring you the online convenience of our
new payment processing system, PaySchools. This program allows you
to make school-related payments online via e-check or credit card
at your convenience all from our school’s Web site.
How It Works
Access our online payment processing system from our school’s
Web site at www.eastcentralschools.org
. Then enter the online store by clicking the PaySchools button on
the right side of the page to make purchases of all available
products in this one location.
The first time you access PaySchools, you will be asked to create a
username and password. After you login, simply select the item(s)
you wish to purchase, then choose to pay by e-check or credit card.
To pay by e-check (directly debiting your bank account), you will
enter your bank’s ABA routing number and personal bank account
number. To make your purchase by credit card, enter the account
number and expiration date for your VISA, MasterCard or Discover
credit card. After you complete your purchase, an e-mail
confirmation and receipt will immediately be sent to you.
PaySchools uses “Secure Sockets Layer” (SSL) software, requires
passwords throughout the program, and does not store personal bank
or credit card information to ensure privacy and security for
users.
